Create New App

Guide on how to create a new application with React Native Mono Template.

Requirements​

First make sure you have the following tools installed on your machine:

Initializing a new project​

Start your project using create-react-native-mono-template command:

npx create-react-native-mono-template@latest MyApp

The command will create an expo app named MyApp and install all the dependencies added by the starter.

Running the app​

Add google-services.json (for Android) and GoogleService-Info.plist (for iOS) to the root folder and run the command::

yarn prebuild

Next, make sure the image file src/assets/images/notification-icon.png exists and run the following command to generate notification icons for Android (This is necessary after you first run prebuild to create the android directory or after running prebuild --clean)

# Create notification icons for android
yarn generate-images

If everything is fine, android and ios folders will be created. The created app should be ready to use. You may launch the app on your simulator or device:

# Run the app on iOS simulator
yarn ios

# Run the app on Android simulator
yarn android
