I need to build an app so that I can share location with friends. My approach first was to get location access and share it via Firebase but this doesn't fulfill the requirement of offline access.
I've already worked on bridging in RN. Kindly suggest possible solutions. I've already done a bit of research but couldn't find any satisfying answer/solution.
you can send your loction through sms using smsmanager
just get your longitude and latitude and concatinate the link send it through sms its the only way to send or through your current location offline...

I'm a beginner in react native and I'm working on a mobile app for school. Within it, I need to send and receive data (draw graphs) from the cloud. We use cloud services from Mathworks - Thingspeak. Would you please advise me on how to start this communication? Is it necessary to set this communication on every screen where graphs will be displayed or send data? Is it possible to use write & read API keys for this task?
Thank you for every answer
You can use REST API for communication,

For write: https://www.mathworks.com/help/thingspeak/writedata.html
There are example requests on both pages.
You don't need to install a separate package, you can do it with fetch
Let me know if you succeeded, or I can help again!
On a React-Native mobile app, I need to access the contacts list, which is stored on the mobile device. The following 2 libraries provide this functionality. However, it seems that none of them provides information about which contacts have been updated (added/deleted/changed) recently.
Is there any library, which (1) provides some sort of notifications, which my app can subscribe to, to get updates about the contacts' list, or (2) provide a timestamp for when each contact was last updated?
I looked into the following libabries, but they do not seem to have this functionality.
Expo Contacts (https://docs.expo.io/versions/v35.0.0/sdk/contacts/)
React-Native-Contacts (https://github.com/rt2zz/react-native-contacts)
Your feedback is highly appreciated...
I saw this in the Expo Contact library : Notifications Expo Contact
You just need to add listener, and after u can sort by categories :
Notifications.addListener(listener)
Notifications.createCategoryAsync(name: string, actions: ActionType[])
it return an EventSubscription object , u can remove notifications by :
EventSubscription.remove()
Hope it will help,
If you need a easy way for notification, Firebase CLoud Messaging is the easiest way for configuring notification, and you can send global notification too by the firebase admin panel ,
This is not currently possible. If you want this feature please request it in the issue tracker and we can deliberate.
The library would have to expose an event the javascript can register a listener for.
I have been working on an app and I am using MapView from react-native-maps. I wanted to know how I could put points on the map based on the store's address? I do not have too much of a clue of how to convert an address into a log and lat. I would assume that the store owner would type in their address and that address would convert to long and lat? I do know that it would entail MapView.Marker. If someone can provide me with a youtube video, give me some advice or a link where I can read up on the logic of this! I plan to have multiple stores. I do know that this would probably include a database however, I am trying to achieve a working BETA version.
Here is an idea! When you open the app you are greeted with multiple bird scooters where the user can walk to. I wanted to provide the same effect rather when you open the app all the stores within a certain radius are there for your viewing pleasure.
Thank you in advance!
To convert an address to lat/long coordinates you need to use a geocoding service. Here is an example if you use Google Maps: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-simple
Is there a way to get locations history, or at least have a service to track if user visited certain location.
We want to try to track if the consumer will re-enter the location, even when app is closed.
Starbucks does that (when you're near Starbucks cafe, they send special deals based on that specific Starbucks cafe)
There is a Frequent Locations in iOS, how to get that in react-native?
Update:
Watching location is not the case, as it requires app to be active
You can use geolocation to listen to a user location. Whenever he enters the location you want, you can trigger a function to do whatever you want.
You can find more details of how to implement it in the official docs:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/geolocation.html
Hope it helps.
Your answer is Geofences. Geofences are an easy way to create an area and check if user has entered, exited and stayed or not. The app works in "terminated" mode as well provided that it has required location permission.
For iOS, you can use the Geolocation framework. I'm hopeful that react-native has a library to use that framework. If not, you can write native code and use it by building native module.
I'm building my first app which should fetch some events from a Facebook CalDAV. But I can't seem to define the source with EventKit. Am I reading the documentation wrong and is it only possible to get information from the iPhones calendar?
The source I'm trying to reach is:
webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/u.php?uid=614013015&key=AQCJQo9Dh5NqgP1Z
Does it provide a problem that it is a webcal and not an official CalDAV standard?
Thanks in advance

I've looked it through and as I see it, EventKit doesn't give the option of connecting to a calendar outside iOS' own.
