I need a hand to setup a initial React Native environment and configuration so I can build and run one cross-platform code-base a open-source React Native mobile application(main server, cms and the mobile app) that I’d like to spin up locally for ongoing development and customization. A portion of the tooling is already in place, but I’m missing several pieces and would like an experienced developer to walk me through the rest, check what I have, and make sure everything works together smoothly and prepare for the customization. The goal is straightforward: by the end of the engagement I should be able to setup the open source repo from GitHub on a fresh machine, install the required dependencies, and successfully launch the app in an iOS simulator and as well an Android emulator or physical device connected to the machines and use all already implemented features like- the push-notifications module , a scrolling news feed, and the hooks for location-aware “local community” content. What I already have • Source code in a public GitHub repository • Windows with Android Studio, Node, npm, and Git installed and a macOS machine that need to be installed Xcode- which can also be used for Android development, so that this is a part of this task. The Android emulator/device are launched on Expo as new project but is not yet connected to the backend which running on outdated Ruby on Rails. All necessary settings and configuration should be done incl. the SUE Backend. I will share the GitHub repository and explain the current environment details as soon as we schedule the session. ----Mandatory task------ You need to install the mobile app( with the backend) on your end first and guide me by the setup process. All remaining dependencies installed especially for iOS. Xcode on macOS machine (SDKs, command-line tools, proper PATH setup) • A fresh React Native starter project created, building and running successfully on an iOS simulator and an Android emulator/device connected to the backend What I need from you • Step-by-step guidance (screen-share, screencast or written instructions) to configure React Native CLI, Xcode, and Android Studio so they work together smoothly, that I can repeat the process on another machine Resolution of any build errors, path issues, or missing package problems that appear during setup • Resolve any dependency conflicts so the project launches without red-box errors, yellow Nobridge warn's, unsupported filters, manifest assets, GraphQL errors- if any. Clear documentation of the final setup process for iOS and Android. Configure and demonstrate push notifications integration, verifying that a test notification reaches the device. All changes compile and run on my machine before we close the project. —————————————————————————————————- Please note: A voice call, screen sharing and maybe a video call is essential for this project, so if you are not willing to use this features, please do not place a bid. —————————————————————————————————- This is only a initial project and about additional help will talk after this step is done. —————————————————————————————————- If you are comfortable with both iOS and Android setups tools for development, test and finally set the productions environments and can jump on a quick chat, ——-LET’S DO IT——-
