Running apps locally for development

To start the Android app, first you need to start an emulator. Then you can run

react-native run-android

To run the iOS app, run

react-native run-ios

Signing apps

First you will need to obtain the signing key file and passwords from one of the project leaders. Email [email protected] to request it.

Signing the Android app

To generate a signed APK, you need to change to the android directory and run

./gradlew assembleRelease

Then you can find the distributable app at android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk.

If you want to install this signed apk to your local device to test, run

./gradlew installRelease
