## Pre-requisites:

Follow the setup guide on https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup?guide=native&os=windows.
You can also install OpenJDK via `winget` instead of `chocolatey`.

## Guide

0. Install using `npm install --legacy-peer-deps` and do not use `yarn`. Yarn/Babel has some insane [bug](https://github.com/babel/babel/discussions/16255). Don't forget to do `npm run gen-proto` too after you've installed the packages.

1. Apply NativeBase patch in `package.json`:
1. NativeBase expects UNIX-like environment for compiling assets. Make sure that `npm` uses `Git Bash` as the shell instead of `Windows Command Prompt`:
`npm config set script-shell "C:\\Program Files\\git\\bin\\bash.exe"`.
Your path to `Git Bash` may be different, double-check the location.

Alternative solution:

Apply our NativeBase patch in `package.json`:
`"native-base": "git+https://github.com/hsjoberg/NativeBase.git#e6ec53fd1f3242f4e3d6fdf619750a96e39537de",`

2. Download `protoc.exe` manually from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases and link it via `path = ...` in `gradle.build` instead of `artifact`

The pre-compiled protoc binary from `com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin` is dependent on libstdc++-6.dll for whatever reason, making execution fail (unless you have it. I couldn't get it working).

3. Maybe needs attention: weird `react-native-reanimated` error https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/5625
