In the output, you'll find options to open the app in a
- development build
- Android emulator
- iOS simulator
- Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo
You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.
When you're ready, run:
npm run reset-projectThis command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.
This project integrates Mapbox and location-sharing features, which require a Custom Native Build. Standard Expo Go cannot be used.
To build and run the app for Android, you must provide your Mapbox download token:
# Set your Mapbox Secret Token (starts with sk.)
export RNMAPBOX_MAPS_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN=your_token_here
# Clean and rebuild the native project
npx expo prebuild --clean
# Run the app on an Android device or emulator
npx expo run:android --deviceNote: The
RNMAPBOX_MAPS_DOWNLOAD_TOKENis required by the Mapbox SDK to download native dependencies during the build process.
