This is a new React Native project, bootstrapped using @react-native-community/cli.

Getting Started

> Note: Make sure you have completed the Set Up Your Environment guide before proceeding.

Step 1: Start Metro

First, you will need to run Metro, the JavaScript build tool for React Native.

To start the Metro dev server, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

``sh


Using npm

npm start

OR using Yarn

yarn start
`

Step 2: Build and run your app

With Metro running, open a new terminal window/pane from the root of your React Native project, and use one of the following commands to build and run your Android or iOS app:

$3

`sh


Using npm

npm run android

OR using Yarn

yarn android
`

$3

For iOS, remember to install CocoaPods dependencies (this only needs to be run on first clone or after updating native deps).

The first time you create a new project, run the Ruby bundler to install CocoaPods itself:

`sh
bundle install
`

Then, and every time you update your native dependencies, run:

`sh
bundle exec pod install
`

For more information, please visit CocoaPods Getting Started guide.

`sh


Using npm

npm run ios

OR using Yarn

yarn ios
`

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in the Android Emulator, iOS Simulator, or your connected device.

This is one way to run your app — you can also build it directly from Android Studio or Xcode.

Step 3: Modify your app

Now that you have successfully run the app, let's make changes!

Open App.tsx in your text editor of choice and make some changes. When you save, your app will automatically update and reflect these changes — this is powered by Fast Refresh.

When you want to forcefully reload, for example to reset the state of your app, you can perform a full reload:

- Android: Press the R key twice or select "Reload" from the Dev Menu, accessed via Ctrl + M (Windows/Linux) or Cmd ⌘ + M (macOS).
- iOS: Press R in iOS Simulator.

Congratulations! :tada:

You've successfully run and modified your React Native App. :partying_face:
