Repo Setup

This setup process was done on an M1 Mac running Sonoma 14.2.1.

1. Get local environment setup with latest brew, Xcode, and Android Studio.

brew update
brew upgrade

My current version of Xcode is 15.2. My current version of Androids Studio is Hedgehog 2023.1.1 Patch 2

2. Check node version is latest LTS. After updating brew, the version of node installed in brew is v21.6.2. However, this is not an LTS version. Since I have nvm installed, I used nvm ls-remote to learn that the latests LTS version is v20.11.1 and installed that using nvm install v20.11.1.

The version of watchman installed by brew is 2024.01.22.00.

2. Create vanilla local project.

% npx react-native@latest init MushroomObserver
