Stacks Client

Run the stacks app on iOS, Android, and Web.

Development

Setup

Install deps. npm install

Start the dev server. npx expo start

deploy to Web

change config.ts to point to the right api, then: ./deploy.sh

Run bundle locally. npx serve dist -l 8081

Upload bundle to google cloud storage bucket: www.getstacks.io

deploy to Apple App Store

Build with the EAS service. eas build --platform ios --profile production

Submit to App Store. eas submit -p ios

install development build onto physical device

eas build --platform ios --profile development Then copy the QR code to download the build onto your device.

build locally

The prebuild may not be necessary, but this generates the native code for the target OS, a base layer of sorts. npx expo prebuild -p ios

eas build -p ios --local --profile development This may fail on several accounts. I had the following errors: fastlane not found So i did sudo gem install fastlane -NV then I got some error like some dep is too old, or ruby version too old so I had to install a newer version of ruby

brew install rbenv\nbrew install ruby-build
rbenv init
eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"
rbenv install 3.3.3
rbenv global 3.3.3

Then I could finally install fastlane. sudo gem install fastlane -NV Then I could finally run the build eas build -p ios --local --profile development The build errored Distribution certificate with fingerprint xxxxxxxxxxx hasn't been imported successfully So I downloaded my Apple Cert and added it to my keychain. https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list

I also added a credentials.json file to the project (gitignored) by executing this but idk if you need it. eas credentials

But I still got the same error, so I installed this other universal cert and got past that error. expo/eas-cli#1331 (comment)

Note about ENV VARS

The dev build works in a weird way, in that even though it is running on device, it relies on a Metro server running on my Mac. I thought that I needed to specify the EXPO_PUBLIC_ENV when building the dev build. But it turns out that I must specify that when running the server. So start the server like this:

EXPO_PUBLIC_ENV=dev-device npx expo start

The prefix EXPO_PUBLIC_ is required for all env vars.
