Customize Application

We are using React Native to build application for both IOS and Android.

1: General

Download theme from themefore then unzip, you will see APP folder includes:

+ Android App Demo: It is .apk file that used to install in Android OS

+ Code: This is React Native Code, you can use it to customize code like add logo, change words...

+ instruction_build_app.rtf: This is instruction file to build code

2: Build Application

We use React Native for creating app. You can follow instruction for making your app.

- Step 1: Setting up the development environment

https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup

- Step 2: Create Project
+ Open terminal 
+ cd to Root folder that included project
+ Run code in terminal:
npx react-native init testmeup

- Step 3: Run project
+ Go to project by command:

Run in IOS: npx react-native run-ios
Run in Android: npx react-native run-android
+ The project setup correctly if you see “Welcome To React Native” screen. If you can’t see this screen, please check again step 1 and create again project to test.

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

    <!-- Include this only if you are planning to use the camera roll -->
