Follow the Getting Started guide as much as you can but not everything will be explained. No install docs will be listed here for each tool as they'll change, go and check them out yourself.
Yarn can be a bit of a pain, especially when a git dependency changes.
To be sure you're running the lastest code run:
rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf ios/Pods
yarn cache clean
yarn
cd ios; pod install; cd ..npm rebuild node-sass
brew install watchman or port install watchman
Run git-crypt unlock to check that you can decrypt the files in the repo. If you can't you'll need to generate a GPG key and pass it to someone with access to the repo. A good guide is located at https://medium.com/@sumitkum/securing-your-secret-keys-with-git-crypt-b2fa6ffed1a6
Use react-native run-ios --help and react-native run-android --help to give you all you need to know. You shouldn't ever have to build from Xcode or Android Studio.
Currently we have issues running a build of ios from the cli using yarn react-native run-ios so instead, open up xcode and run it there
open ios/sylk.xcworkspace/If you don't have any simulators running, and don't have an android device plugged in (or available to adb) React Native will start up a simulator for you. If you have a device available (doesn't matter if its real or a simulator) this command will output to the device.
yarn react-native run-androidInstall https://reactnative.dev/docs/debugging#react-developer-tools
Shake the device and touch Debug.
Currently we have issues running a build of ios from the cli using yarn react-native run-ios --device so instead, open up xcode and run it there
yarn react-native run-android --deviceId "DeviceId"--deviceId [string] builds your app and starts it on a specific device/simulator with the given device id (listed by running "adb devices" on the command line).
To run the app on your device without tethering it to USB:
On Android:
yarn react-native run-android --variant=release
On iOS:
Select menu Product -> Scheme -> Edit scheme andselect for Run Build Configuration = Release
Beware that iOS push tokens are still meant for sandbox unless the app is released through Apple Store.
You might want to bring the project back to a clean repo if you're hitting any issues.
Try it as a dry-run first
git clean -d -x --dry-rungit clean -d -x -fWe use fastlane for building production versions of the app.
Fastlane can handle all the metadata around your entry into the relevant App Stores and much much more too.
Currently we have two commands - you will need to open Xcode and allow it to sync the deployment key as we allow Xcode to control that rather than do it ourselves. We could add it directly into the project with git-crypt and tell fastlane to use it to make this easier.
fastlane ios betafastlane android betaWe utilise the patch-package module in order to patch the react-native-callkeep module instead of maintaining a complete fork. See their README on how to make changes to the patch and how those patches get installed automatically within this project on install of npm modules.
