Green Garden App

Frontend app for the Green Garden project created with React Native

How to use

1. Set up React Native CLI for iOS or Android: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup
2. Make sure you have a recent version of Node (node -v should be at least 16). For Android make sure you have Java 11 (java --version).
3. Download Firebase credentials for iOS or Android. For iOS this should be put in ios/GoogleService-Info.plist and for Android this should be put in android/app/google-services.json.
4. Run npm install. For iOS you also need to run npx pod-install.
5. Start the app with npx react-native start.

If there are issues with starting the app try using npx react-native start --reset-cache or npx react-native clean.

Always run npm install (and npx pod-install on iOS) after fetching the latest commits from git!

Making a release build of the app

On Android:

1. Add a key at android/app/release.keystore.
2. Create a file called signing.properties in android.
3. Run cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease.
4. APK will now be located in android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk.

The file signing.properties should contain the following:

storeFile=release.keystore
storePassword=**********
keyPassword=**********
keyAlias=green-garden-key
