fyi VS react-native

So i found out this client was using unimodules for a lot of his libraries. But unimodules has been deprecated and merged into expo now. So now I followed the instructions here, and it looks like I just have migrated my application into expo only as it(expo-upgrade) created created a .expo folder now and also bumped package.json libraries to latest versions.

TLDR - Released new updates on EAS Update branch promotion flow deployment pattern to use a separate channel for each production runtime version release build: https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/deployment-patterns/#branch-promotion-flow - Updates from Expo Modules API getting started guide: When importing a module in your app, you can now use relative paths: https://docs.expo.dev/modules/get-started/#using-the-module. You can still use absolute paths to import the module when creating it locally by using an additional configuration: https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/absolute-path-expo-modules.md - EAS Build serves most dependencies & CocoaPods artifacts from a cache server for Android & iOS. However, in your project if you've ios directory & want cache Podlock.lock you can use paths property in eas.json: https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/caching/#ios-dependencies - You can always look into EAS Build server infrastructure doc to learn more about the current configurations for Android and iOS build servers: https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/ - With expo-updates, you can always check for updates manually if they are working or not. Check out the example: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/updates/#check-for-updates-manually - Hermes apps use this debugging technique automatically when you open the debugger in Expo Go or a development build. For more in-depth info about check out the section on remote debugging: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/using-hermes/#can-i-use-remote-debugging-with-hermes - To add expo-updates to an existing React Native project, you need to configure your project. We recently updated the guide that works with latest React Native version: https://docs.expo.dev/bare/installing-updates/

I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/firebase-migration-guide.md

I got the DevicePushToken and sending APN push notification in the backend with Node, but I just couldn’t get it work in Expo (managed workflow). I followed exactly in docs which poorly documented and I also tried exactly like this.

Has anyone had success with this tutorial from Expo? We've followed the steps here (https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/creating-google-service-account.md), but in Step 8 ("Return to the API access page on the Google Play Console and ensure it shows your new service account. Click on Grant access for the newly added service account.") the service account just isn't listed.

This will create a prebuilt Expo app. That is, you'll see ios and android folders in your project and this won't be a managed Expo app, where all the native details are hidden and Expo takes care of everything. Having said that, you don't need to go into the ios or android folders unless you need to add some native code in Swift or Kotlin.

Right now, Realm is not compatible with Expo Managed Workflows. In a managed Workflow Expo hides all iOS and Android native details from the JavaScript/React developer so they can concentrate on writing React code. Here, we need to prebuild our App, which will mean that we lose the nice Expo Go App that allows us to load our app using a QR code.

The smaller bundle size is also being worked on. Not quite sure what their timeline is, but I think it's pretty soon? See here: https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/master/managed-app-size.md and/or watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E6zsRpfT4U

There was always a tiny sparkle in me telling me that I want to develop mobile apps but I never pursued it. It always felt a bit complicated for me to learn development processes in a completely different industry. I did try developing mobile apps using React Native but it never felt right for me. Also, I already tried to write some Kotlin code and so far I like it, but the whole Android ecosystem is still pretty new to me and I feel there will be a lot to learn. Nevertheless, I will try to learn it in parallel with Elixir but Elixir will be my primary goal, and Kotlin / Android will go along depending on how much time I will have.

Recently, there has been a notable shift in mobile application development practices. Rather than creating separate applications for each native platform, many developers are opting for hybrid mobile frameworks like React Native.

React Native [ https://reactnative.dev/ ]

Versatility: JavaScript is not limited to web browsers. It's used in a variety of environments, including mobile app development (using frameworks like React Native), game development (using libraries like Phaser), and even serverless computing (using platforms like AWS Lambda).

In the competitive landscape of mobile app development, user experience (UX) has emerged as a critical differentiator. React Native, with its robust framework and versatile capabilities, offers developers a powerful toolkit to create seamless and engaging user experiences. This blog post delves into the design principles and best practices in React Native app development, uncovering how developers can elevate user experience to new heights and drive success in the digital realm.

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

Additionally, React Native, an extension of React.js, enables developers to create hybrid mobile applications with ease.

You don’t know what to do with your time while applying the 5th rule? Start small, tiny steps. If you can’t read much, start small, 15 minutes a day reading a technical article or even a book like Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch. You don’t like to read? Create small projects by using a framework you want to learn. Check for example: React framework.
