Suicide&Co - Installing & Running The Build - Projects

Clone the build:

git clone [email protected]:suicide-and-co/react-native-app.git sidekick

Copy the environment variables and add api and encryption keys
```
cp .env.example .env
```
Change to correct node version and install dependencies
```
nvm use
npm install
```
Make sure you have Android Studio and Xcode installed.
Plug in your IOS/Android device and make sure developer mode is enabled. Accept any permissions that may be required when you plug in your device. Set up your device to be linked up with either Android Studio or Xcode.

Run the app on Metro's dev server:

npx expo run:android // run on Android or
npx expo run:ios // run on IOS

Once the dev app is installed on your device you can open it. If the app doesn't open on your device; check the console to see if you're using the development build - not Expo Go (you can toggle this with your s key) and if so scan the QR code with your devices camera to open. In some circumstances, depending on your internet configuration you may find you can't open the app. If you've already run npx expo run:android or npx expo run:ios and the dev build was successful, you can try running
```
npx expo start --clear --tunnel
```
This will start the dev server and should allow you to connect. Please note that the tunnel flag compiles a lot slower then without it so only use it if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you are having dev building issues make sure you are using Java v17
If you are having dev building issues for Android; in the directory /android copy local.properties.example to local.properties and add your Android Studio SDK directory. It should be something similar to: sdk.dir=/Users/[user]/Library/Android/sdk
