SETUP

Requirements

Before you get started, make sure you have the following dependencies installed on your machine:

• NodeJS >=5 and npm 3. npm 2 is not supported.

• Homebrew (or an alternative way to install OSX packages)

• Latest React Native CLI

      $ npm install -g react-native-cli
  

Installation

Install dependencies

$ npm install
$ react-native link

Running the iOS application

1. Install Requirements:

• Xcode for iOS development (download from Mac App Store)
• Ruby (>2.2) to run CocoaPods
• CocoaPods 1.0 or newer for iOS package management.

Please note that CocoaPods 0.x will not work, and at the time of writing the version in Homebrew is still 0.39, so check your pod --version and install 1.0 with gem if necessary.

2. Install native iOS dependencies

    $ (cd ios; pod init; pod repo update; pod install)
   

3. Build the app and run the simulator via react-native:

    $ react-native run-ios
   

In the case, that this error Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist occurs on build, you may need to run react-native upgrade to run the latest version of react-native.

4. Build the app and run on an iPhone via xcode:

5. Open ios/T7Chicken.xcworkspace with Xcode

6. Plug in your device via USB cable

7. Change 'Iphone 7Plus' to your device

8. Click View->Navigators->Project Navigator

9. Scroll down to 'Signing' and add a signature. You will need an Apple developer account.

10. Click the 'Play' button to build and run on your device

More Information on running on a device

If you see a linker error when trying to build the app, close the project and make sure you open the .xcworkspace file and not the .xcodeproj file

• Android Support Library
• Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)
• Android Studios

6. Configure and install hardware acceleration

      $ open /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/IntelHAXM_<version>.dmg
