Is there a way I can use Fabric beta testing with react-native expo project ?
I searched all over the internet but didn't find an example of this.
Edit 1: The project has been already created using CRNA command.
PS: I know I can detach from expo then build each project with fabric separately, but detaching process is tedious.
You need to detach your app, once detached you can follow the crashlytics iOS guide with Objective-C, with a difference in the API key step, use the Info.list file inside the Supporting group, just make sure to delete the old Fabric keys already added inside that file.
After that you can use the beta like a normal iOS app, hope this helps you

I have the need to run a project from Expo Go without being connected to PC. We are developing an app that require GPS and needs to be tested in open field.
Before EAS became the standard to create projects i used
expo build:android
ad this created not only the apk, but uploaded the project to my account and i was able to start it from Expo Go projects section just like the app was installed on phisical device. That worked also fo iOS and was a great testing feature.
After i moved to EAS Build
eas build -p android --profile preview --clear-cache
my project inside Expo Go does not update anymore and its stucked at sdk 44 even if now i'm working (and creating builds) with sdk 46.
I went through the official documentation many times but i don't get how to make the app start from Expo Go (project sction) as i did before. Maybe i'm missing some configuration.
Thank you all for any kind reply.
Have a good day.
EDIT
I found the solution to this problem and now my builds are working and uploading to Expo Go.
Check out this information: https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/eas-build-archive.md
Basically EAS Updates will not bundle anything inside your .gitignore, in my case it needed specific config files. Did a quick test by taking them off the .gitignore and now it's working. Will move to GitHub SECRETS in the future.
Hope that helps.
Might be a duplicate, didn't find one tho.
I started a new application with the react-native-cli.
I want to use expo for development purpose:
Running on devices through Expo.
Publishing through Expo.
Is such a thing possible?
Copy pasting your 2 questions in Google and the first result...
1.
https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/testing-on-devices/
2.
https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/workflow/publishing/
any questions left???
No, its not possible, in the docs its explicitly mentioned you can choose either the expo path or bare react native path. And if you choose expo you can eject from it to pure react native but cant go vice versa because the expo wrapper cant be implemented on the bare app.
so you have to again build an app with expo-cli to use expo publishing facilities etc.
but if you want to use expo modules in bare react native app you can do by using react-native-unimodules .
rn-unimodules
hope it helps. feel free for doubts
If anyone is ever looking for the answer it is stated here:
https://docs.expo.io/versions/v35.0.0/introduction/managed-vs-bare/#bare-workflow
It clearly states that in "bare" workflow you cant use the build services of Expo.
I want to create my own podcast app.
I found this pre-written code online (github.com/diego3g/rocketcasts) and want to tweak it in order to create my own app.
How do I upload this code into expo?
Unfortunately that React-Native app was not built using Expo. You can tell because it has ios and android folders in its root directory.
Digging deeper you can see that it uses react-native-config as a dependency. This dependency requires access to native code, which Expo does not allow. You would have to go through and remove any dependency that requires native code if you wish to use Expo. This may remove functionality and could take some time to resolve issues.
Also this application was built using react-native: 0.47.2. Currently the most recent version of react-native is 0.57.8 with 0.58.0 just around the corner. That is quite a jump to make if you plan on upgrading the react-native version. Upgrading RN is not as simple as just changing a version code.
Similarly the repos last commit was over a year ago. That means that the majority of dependencies will be out of date and will need upgraded. Again, some dependencies aren’t a simple upgrade you would need to check every single one to make sure that it doesn’t cause unforeseen problems. You would also need to check their compatibility with Expo.
Personally I wouldn’t copy the project. I would look at how they have implemented the functionality and then in a new react-native project I would re-implement the functionality. That way all dependencies would be up to date and you would know that it would work.
Going down the path of editing an existing project like this one may be quite a challenge.
Either way good luck.
You can find more information about Expo here https://docs.expo.io/
And you can find a good explanation of the differences between Expo and react-native init here What is the difference between Expo and React Native?
The standard way to tweak an existing GitHub repository you don't own is to:
fork the repo (that is a GitHub operation, creating a copy of the repo in your account)
clone it and modify it: you can then push back to your GitHub fork.
Firstly I created my project with create-react-native-app and I'm developing my app with npm start and I have expo installed on my emulator. How can I convert these project into react native init, I don't want to use expo anymore...I don't neeed any api-es from them...
Thank you
The best resource for this is in the create-react-native-app repository. Try having a look here to get started.
The short answer is to use npm run eject
If you have experience generating signed APKs for Android and code signing with iOS then you shouldn't run into too much trouble.
If you don't, then take the time to go through the Android docs and also this guide should help you get up on running on iOS as well.
Good luck!
Instead of creating your project using the command create-react-native-app, you may create a react native project by following "Building Projects with Native Code" of the getting start guide: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html.
Here you will find out how to:
1. Set up the environment.
2. Installation of phone emulator.
3. Connection of your phone via USB for testing.
4. Create a project using the react-native init command.
I am working on a project already exists native base and I want to add expo to easily test my application.
The easiest way to do this is to make a new Expo project and copy over all the JavaScript from your existing project.
There isn't a way to react-native link expo or anything like that right now. There might be in the future but even then that wouldn't enable the easy sharing that you want. To get that you need to just use the binary code included with Expo (which can do most things you want to do).
Here is more info: https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/introduction/faq.html#how-do-i-get-my-existing-react-native-project-running-with-expo
Expo can now be added to an existing project, run the following command for automatic installation:
npx install-expo-modules#latest
If the command fails, you can refer to the docs for manual installation instructions.
