Where2Be-App

This contains the codebase for Where2Be's React Native mobile application.

How to run the app from scratch

• Remove node_modules
• Run cd ios
• Run pod deintegrate
• Create a .env file in the format of .env-example with those fields filled in
• Run npm i if you do not have node_modules folder
• Run pod install in ios directory (if you're going to run iOS)
• Run npx expo run:ios --device or npx expo run:android --device

You'll need cocoapods to run the application on iOS. Follow a tutorial online on how to get them. It's recommended to use a macbook to develop Where2Be.

Reminder for development!

• Go to constants/settings.ts and turn firebaseAnalytics to false and sentryEnabled to false
• Go to backendconfig.json and turn "env" to "dev" with the URL as your localhost (if you're running the server locally)
• If you want to test shareable links, you'll need access to branch.io and use the test url. Set universalLinks in constants/settings.ts to true and follow instructions on how to run using where2be.test.app.link online. Account credentials are on Lastpass. Contact either Kyle or Chirag to get access.

Reminder before production deployment!

• Go to constants/settings.ts and turn firebaseAnalytics to true
• Go to constants/settings.ts and turn universalLinks to true
• Go to constants/settings.ts and turn sentryEnabled to true
• Go to backendconfig.json and turn "env" to "prod" (with the appropriate API url)
• Go to android/app/build.gradle and increase the versionName to what the new android version will be.
• Go to ios/Where2Be/Info.plist and increase the version for the key <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Do NOT run npx expo prebuild. Where2Be uses native modules, and running this command causes issues.
