Development

Looking to build your own React Native project with ES6/7? Check out my React Native Starter Kit. Otherwise proceed enthusiastically.

1. Clone this project.

2. Install dependencies.

   npm install
   pod install
   

3. Run npm start to start the Webpack watcher, Webpack Dev Server and the React Packager in a single shot.

   Note: The Webpack watcher builds the index.[platform].js file expected by React Native.

4. Open WLPN.xcworkspace in XCode and run the project.

Bundling for distribution

1. Execute npm run bundle to generate the offline JS bundle.
2. For iOS, update AppDelegate.m to load from pre-bundled file on disk.
3. Test the application, create an archive and submit to the store.
