Download Modules

From the mobileClient directory, run npm install

• This installs the various modules needed into a node_modules directory.

Starting the sample app

iOS

• react-native run-ios runs the iOS build in the default simulator.
  • react-native run-ios --simulator="MySimulatorName" will run the iOS build using the simulator you specify.
    • More details on specifying simulators
    • List of available simulators: xcrun simctl list
    • Example to create your own named simulator for an iPad Air 2 running iOS 11.3: xcrun simctl create MySimulatorName com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPad-Air-2 com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-11-3
• ⌘-d in the iOS simulator brings up the React Native debug menu.

Android

• Run an AVD (Android Virtual Device) emulator. This could be started via Android Studio (Tools -> AVD Manager) or the command line
• react-native run-android runs the Android build
• ⌘-m in the Android emulator brings up the React Native debug menu.

For running on a physical iOS/Android device, take a look at the docs for the subtleties involved.

Debugging

React Native has some great debugging documentation, it's well worth reading through. A common setup for us is to have the standalone React Developer Tools running and the simulator with Live Reload and Hot Reloading turned on.
