Setting Up React Native

React Native allows us to create native apps for Android and iOS using React. Native apps can be downloaded from public app stores (such as Google Play Store, Huawei App Gallery, and Apple iOS) and run offline.

You can set up the development environment in two ways:

The easiest way to get started is with Expo CLI. You will only need Node.js and a phone or emulator. If you'd like to try out React Native directly in your web browser before installing any tools, you can try out Snack.

React Native CLI requires Xcode or Android Studio. If you already have one of these tools installed, you should be able to start running within a few minutes. If they are not installed, you should expect to spend about an hour installing and configuring them.
