This is a new React Native project, bootstrapped using @react-native-community/cli
.
Note: Make sure you have completed the React Native - Environment Setup instructions till "Creating a new application" step, before proceeding.
First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native.
To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:
# using npm
npm start
# OR using Yarn
yarn start
Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal from the root of your React Native project. Run the following command to start your Android or iOS app:
# using npm
npm run android
# OR using Yarn
yarn android
# using npm
npm run ios
# OR using Yarn
yarn ios

Provide a brief introduction to the app, its purpose, and the problem it aims to solve.
Explain the goals of the project, whether it's a personal project, part of a larger application, or a prototype for a specific purpose.
Outline the main folder structure of your project, including key directories such as components, screens, navigation, assets, etc.
Highlight the main components of your app, especially those that play a significant role in the onboarding and dashboard flows.
List the prerequisites for setting up the development environment (e.g., Node.js, React Native CLI, Android Studio/Xcode).
Provide step-by-step instructions for setting up the project locally and running it on simulators/emulators or devices.
Explain the purpose and importance of the onboarding flow within your app.
List the screens involved in the onboarding flow and explain the navigation between them.
