App.js 2024 - Expo Development and Distribution Workflows

Workshop exercises for App.js 2024 workshop.

How to use this repo

1. Do the prerequisite setup steps below.
2. Clone this repo. You'll start working right on main.
3. Open up the workshop folder in this repo to see what to do. Start at module "01".
4. Do the modules.

Prerequisites (do before workshop)

A Mac with Xcode and Android development tools is highly recommended. If you do not have a Mac, you will be able to do the Android exercises in the second half of the workshop, but not the iOS exercises.

Installation/ setup steps

(adapted from https://docs.expo.dev/get-started/installation/) Bring your laptop! You will write code with it. If you regularly do JavaScript development, you likely have many of these installed on your machine already.

Install Expo prerequisites

1. Node.js LTS release (version 18 or higher)
2. Git. The Github Desktop app installs this for you- that's what I use.
3. Recommended: Visual Studio Code.
4. Insert native setup steps (link to Expo doc)
5. Clone demo app template, including all branches (include screenshot of this) - I think it'd be good to make the demo a template repo, will likely make stuff like the Github setup easier.

Verifying that everything is working

Something about running npx expo run:ios|android
