JS

Head to https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html and follow the environment setup instructions for React Native v0.62 for both Android and iOS, using the React Native CLI Quickstart.

iOS

OSX, Xcode >= 10.1.

Android

You'll need at least one emulator. I've found the easiest way to add Virtual Device:

  • Within Android Studio, open the "AVD Manager" - in the toolbar click the icon with the purple device and small android (fourth from the right)
  • Click 'Create Virtual Device' - bottom left-hand corner
  • Create at least one using the latest Android Release. I have a few different size and Android Release configurations

Also you'll need a Gradle properties file outside the project for keeping secrets that aren't checked into source control. This should be in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and contain the following: MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE=
MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=

Which should contain the keystore file name and alias, ask in Slack for additional details.
