Can ReactNative runs Windows app simulator on Mac? - react-native

I create RN project with npx react-native init "ProjectName" ,and this can be running on iOS and Android simulator. But I want to see it running Windows App on my Mac.
I found this page https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/ , but it looks like here just explain how to build Windows app with WindowsOS.
Is there other side for running Windows app on Mac?

Hi yes you can download the Virtual Machine like VMware and install Windows then you have to configure the react-native-windows setup your windows in VM and then you can test it on your mac

Windows 10 WSL2 expo cannot find simulated android device from Android Studio

I am new to android development and am trying to learn react-native by following a tutorial here. The problem is whenever I try to start my react-native project within my simulated android device, expo cli cannot find it. This step is at the 25 minute mark of the video and my progress can be summarized as follows:
I have react-native on my machine and have installed expo cli
I've downloaded Android Studio which is located: C:\Users..\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
I have my emulated android device up and running via Virtual Device
Manager
After typinng "npm start" When I type "a" within the terminal of WSL to run this app on my virtual android device I get the following message when it tries to open the emulator:
No Android connected device found, and no emulators could be started
automatically. Please connect a device or create an emulator
(https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/android-studio-emulator).
At which point my expo developer tools browser window displays that
Expo Developer Tools is disconnected from Expo CLI. Use the expo start
command to start the CLI again
When I goto the terminal and do this, it just restarts this failure over again when I type "a" to start my app in the simulated android device. Some of the solutions I've tried are:
following the documentation on the workflow android studio emulator link. I find though that all of the options within my version of android studio look drastically different, and that my file location is much different than what they have listed.
uninstalling and reinstalling Android Studio
Making sure SDK tools is checked as per this stack overflow post
following the instructions in this stack overflow post, however I am not trying to connect a phone via usb so this does not help me.
My setup is as follows:
OS: Windows 10
VM: WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Text Editor: Visual Studio Code 1.63.2
Android Studio: BumbleBee 2021.1.1
Expo CLI version: 5.0.3
here are some screen shots:
^ that one is right before I try to type "a" within the expo cli within terminal.

Can I build both iOS and Android apps using react native on Ubuntu Linux?

So I just started out to learn react-native but I found out that to build both iOS and Android requires OS X. I use Ubuntu but I haven't heard or read from somewhere about Linux writing react-native applications.
You can't build iOS app without XCode. Maybe you can do this using virtual machine.

How to build iOS apps using react- native on window 10

I am new in react-native. I want to build an android and iOS application by using react-native. I used the Windows 10 to build the react-native project and it is ok when I run the android app using Android SDK or real device but cannot on iOS devices. I have researched this problem and know that I need to use macOS to run the iOS apps. Is it possible to build iOS apps using any iOS simulator on Windows 10?
for exporting ios apps you must have a MAC system(X-code) or you can do it in windows with VMvare that have a virtual Mac system ,and in next step you must have a developer account then other steps are simple :)
The best way to develop in react native if you did not have access to MAC OSX environment is to use EXPO as it will ensured the app could run on android and iOS.
The second option would be using private cloud Mac like MacStadium.

Proper Development Environment For React Native

I want to write an application targeted at both iOS and Android. Is it possible to develop a React Native app on Windows using a network connected Mac? For example, using Visual Studio Code on Windows and debugging on a network connected Mac?
I'm using Atom and IDE to make react-native app.
To test on iOS, maybe you could use this but the best would be to have a iPhone with you, to install your app and use Code Push to auto update the app on your phone. The other solution would be to install an macOS Emulator on your computer.

React Native Not Running projects that I copied from Windows machine to Ubuntu

I just moved to Ubuntu from Windows 10, I have installed react-native on my laptop and everytime I do react-native init it creates a project as expected. react-native run-android & react-native start commands are working as you'd expect them to be.
My main problem is I just copied a react native project from my Windows 10 machine to Ubuntu and now everytime I do react-native run-android This is the error I see on my console
This is the error I see on my console
Starting JS server...
Running /home/adeel/Android/Sdk//platform-tools/adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug...
Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details.
Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html
The problem was the React Native project was created in Windows and I was trying to run it in a Linux based platform. So what I did was I created a brand new project in my Linux environment and copied my RN code in the newly created project.
This was I believe due to the android file it created which is platform dependent. Windows and Linux have different GRADLE files. I hope this helps anyone who is having this issue.
Seems like it is not recognizing your device/emulator. Run "adb devices" to check. I guess you did the whole Android setup and installed Android Studio (SDK).
