Festival: React Native

This is a demo React Native App, so we can learn about the technology.

Follow this guide to set up the tools you'll need.

It speaks to the API on the live festival website. See it here.

Signing authorities:

To test on a real device, you'll need to have xCode signed in to the Apple Developer Programme.

There's details in the UPM. Look for mobile@springload.co.nz.

Important note:

To develop on the iOS simulator, the default settings in AppDelegate.m (xcode) will be fine:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

For developing on a device rapidly, you can change localhost above to your machine's local IP address, eg:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://10.0.0.96:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

note: This will only work with real devices, not with builds targeting the iOS simulator.

When you want to develop/test on a real device, it's easiest to bundle the JS with the app. You can do that by uncommenting this line:

//   jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
