Setup and Run the App on an Android Device

Backend

This project has a backend component that must be setup before the app. Follow the instructions in this repo.

App

1. Create a file in the root directory called env.json and add the following data:

   cat >> env.json <<EOF
   {
      "baseURL": "<BASE_URL>",
      "areTestsRunningOverride": false
   }
   EOF

   • BASE_URL is for the TODO Backend API.

2. Download node:

   I use Brew:

   brew install node

3. Run npm clean install:

   npm ci

4. Download Android Studio.

5. Setup development environment

6. From this project's root directory, run:

   chmod +x start-app.sh
   
   ./start-all.sh

   • Note: May need to run npx react-native start instead.
   • Additional steps/resources can be found here.

7. Stop the app and run the following script to update the icons and splash screen:

   chmod +x move_android_images.sh
   
   ./move_android_images.sh

   • NOTE: this script currently only works for Android.

8. Restart the app (./start-app.sh), and the icon and splash screen should be updated.
