This app was created based on React Native's recommendation of using Expo.
- To view the development version of the app, first install the expo-cli -
npm install -g expo-cli
- Also, assuming you do not have an Android Virtual Device installed on your computer, you will also need a physical Android device with the Expo App installed
- After cloning the repo, run either
yarn start
orexpo start
- In the automatically opened browser window, either click "Run on Android device/emulator" if you have a virtual device installed, or open the Expo app on you device and scan the QR code
- The first time you do this, you'll need to give the app permissions. In my experience, after giving these permissions, you'll also need to close & re-open the Expo app and re-scan the QR code
- Your device and computer need to be connected to the exact same wifi (including any 2.4g / 5g distinctions). You may also need to disconnect from any VPNs.
- I've had mixed success using their app, and have never gotten it to work on public wifi, so don't freak out if it gives you a "Something went wrong" error
- At this point, the app should appear on your device
