Getting Started

Note: Make sure you have completed the React Native - Environment Setup instructions till "Creating a new application" step, before proceeding.

Step 1: Install required packages

yarn install

Step 2: Install iOS pods

cd ios && pod install

Step 3: Start the Metro Server

To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

yarn start

Step 4: Start your Application

Follow instructions from the Metro Bundler

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the app running in your Android Emulator or iOS Simulator shortly provided you have set up your emulator/simulator correctly.

This is one way to run your app — you can also run it directly from within Android Studio and Xcode respectively.
