How to Run

iOS

$ npm run build:dev             # Start tsc in watch mode to convert .ts -> babel
$ npm start                     # Start react-native packager server, which serves up the js bundle to the emulators
$ npm run xcode                 # Open xcode for the project

Click on Play button (cmd+r) to run the app on the ios Simulator

Android

You will need a maximum of 3 terminal tabs/windows to run the React Native packager, Android Virtual Devices, and view the Android logs

$ npm run build:dev
$ npm start
$ npm run android-emulator      # Open the android emulator manager

1. Select the Emulator that you've already created (from the Getting Started steps)
2. Click Start...
3. Click Launch

$ npm run android               # Deploy the app to the already running emulator and hook in to its logs

Dev notes

Please consult the React Playbook

• Be sure to enable live reload if you want your file changes to immediately reload the app
• YellowBox is disabled. See index.android.js and index.ios.js to re-enable it if you'd like.
