Here is a step by step tutorial for creating a simple application.

1) First download the cli tool

2) npm run start

3) start the app in the xcode IOS simulator.

Answer 2

On Windows 10 I had to do adb shell am start -n com.facebook.react.movies/.MoviesActivity to get the examples running. (make sure ANDROID_SDK\platform-tools is in path or run command with absolute path)

So step by step I had to do:

cd react-native

./gradlew :Examples:Movies:android:app:installDebug

adb shell am start -n com.facebook.react.movies/.MoviesActivity

./packager/packager.sh

or

./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug

adb shell am start -n com.facebook.react.uiapp/.UIExplorerActivity

./packager/packager.sh

It should work just by following the Getting Started Tutorial, except that you have to run npm install inside your react-native directory.

Then just run for example the Movie Project with Xcode.

If you want to "isolate" the MovieProject or another react-native example project, the easy way is to init a new react native app (react-native init MyAppName) and just copy the JS files from the example project (in the example below the Movie Project) into the new app folder.

And then don't forget to edit your iOS/AppDelegate.m file.

You have to edit 2 lines:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http:/localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle"];

By:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:8081/MoviesApp.bundle"];

AND

RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                  moduleName:@"MyAppName"
                                               launchOptions:launchOptions];

By:

RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                  moduleName:@"MoviesApp"
                                               launchOptions:launchOptions];

Also, you can run the android version of the UIExplorer app by running the command:

./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh

or this:

./gradlew :Examples:Movies:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh

for the movies example (should be run on the react-native folder).

Also, you could run the gradle daemon to speed up the build time for Android.

Answer 5

First, meet the requirements on the getting started guide

Then, check out the React Native repository and run the following inside it:

1. npm install
2. open Examples/Movies/Movies.xcodeproj

If you have errors compiling due to linking errors, removing the derived data may help. Quit Xcode, delete /Users/{you}/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, and re-open Xcode.

1. brew update
2. brew install node
3. brew upgrade node (if u already installed)

7. cd [name ur app]
