I want to know how can I access to android or ios files when I create a project with expo XDE?
like (android manifest.xml) or all files which I access to them when I create a project with this command react-native init ?
Expo is managing ios and android files internally. If you want to edit platform specific files you should eject your project. You can simply run this command at root directory of your project folder:
react-native eject
This command will create ios and android folder at root directory of your project.
More info please look at:Gist

I'm new to react-native, I've seen tutorials but everyone uses expo. I downloaded this project where they don't use expo. I want to compile this application for android, to finally get an .apk
This application already has a folder called "Android" but inside it does not have its respective .apk. How can I generate it?
this is the repository:
https://github.com/zsajjad/BusinessCard
It would be great if you can attach screenshots of how I should do it
Note. I have the latest version of android studio and I don't see the option of "build"
commands like "gradlew" from the console, they don't work, it's as if I didn't have that command installed
Following instructions for build apk using android studio
Hope you installed node and react native on your machine. If not
please follow the link to install it.Install node and react native
open your command prompt or terminal and redirect to your download project - cd /Businesscard Master (change it according to your project location)
Now enter - npm install
Enter - react-native link
Follow the android related linking instructions on following link react native camera
Hope you know about android camera and storage permissions.
same thing for react native text detector. Because your downloaded project have that packages in package.json
Now open your project android folder in android studio using open existing android project.
Then select build your project from android studio build menu and run it also
Generate apk using build menu- same process you have to follow for native android project
You don't need to use the CLI, that's needlessly complicated and it obscures what Android Studio is actually doing. Here's all you need to do.
Open the whole /Android/ folder in Android Studio. This is your "project" similar to how you open a *.xed file in XCode. Except in Android Studio, you just open up the whole folder to get the build.
Android Studio will now prepare your project using Gradle. If there are any errors in the preparation it will tell you about them. Assuming your gradle and Android Studio versions are compatible and you got no errors, you're now ready to emulate, debug and create a production build. At this point the workflow is similar to using XCode. You'll see emulators under Tools -> AVD Manager.
In the file menus go to Build->Generate APK. You can choose between signed APKs, debug APKs and so on. You'll need the key file if you're signing the APK on your computer, otherwise there's also Google Play signing after you upload the APK.
TL;DR: Just open your /Android/ folder in Android Studio.
Side note: When Android Studio gives you popups to upgrade stuff don't do it. NEVER upgrade Gradle or Android Studio unless the RN / Expo team specifically ask you. This will break your whole project and you will need to rebuild the platform.
I am working on react native expo project and I have no knowledge regarding how to create iOS and android folders within expo project.so please help me regarding how to create iOS and android folders and at last how to make final build. thanks.
https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/expokit/eject/#3-eject
From your project directory, run expo eject. This will download the
required dependencies and build native projects under the ios and
android directories.
I built a test application using react native. I'm trying to publish it following this tutorial: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android.html
However, my project does not have folder android. How can I create this folder?
In React-native, there are two method to create Singed APK File
First you should know
it's best to create apps using react-native init rather than expo as React-Native-Cli gives you local project for both ios and android,you can test and debug the code locally and also use the tool to publish applications
- If you create the project by using this command -
react-native init Project_Name
Then follow this method.
BUT IN YOUR CASE
you're using expo and also expo-cli! that's good! but when i use expo i usually like to go with expo XDE which has single version to publish,render or debug with it's own console in the bottom and that'll help you upload your code to expo server where you can ask them to render app for iOS or android and they will return you a link which will download the APK or the ipa file for android or iOS respectively
Here is the documentation link which'll explain you each step one by one and do keep an eye on the notes and TODOs while following the step (in your scenario)
- If you use expo,for create React-native project
then follow this method generate the singed APK file for Android - Expo
I have developed an app in react native, but the project folder is too large(1.2GB) to upload into git and the IOS folder itself holding 0.9GB.I have done the following steps to overcome the issue
Steps Followed :-
Deleted Android and IOS folders from project folder.
Uploaded and Downloaded the project code using git.
Later run the commands like npm install and react-native upgrade
After running the above commands to generate IOS and Android folders, we are supposed to run Android version, but facing issue with IOS.
So...I request you to let me know the proper process of uploading code into git such that i can run both Android and IOS.
Make sure you have a .gitignore and make sure at a minimum that the build and node_modules folders are not included. For me 95% of the size is from that.
example gitignore
When I run create-react-native-app AwesomeProject, no XCode project gets generated.
Just this files created :
It's a normal result. create-react-native-app is not supposed to create ios and android folders. It is to be used with Expo client.
If you want to have Xcode files, use react-native-cli:
On the top of this page, click "Building Projects with Native Code" instead of "Quick Start".
run npm run eject at the root of your project folder, it will create ios and android folders.
This will start the process of "ejecting" from Create React Native App's build scripts. You'll be asked a couple of questions about how you'd like to build your project.
