How to build demo application

1. Visit client.regulaforensics.com to get a trial license (regula.license file). The license creation wizard will guide you through the necessary steps.
2. Download or clone this repository using the command git clone https://github.com/regulaforensics/react-native-document-reader.git.
3. Run the following commands in Terminal:

$ cd example
$ npm install
$ cd ios
$ pod install

Note: make sure that Metro Bundler is running when you run your app. Otherwise, run npx react-native start command. If it fails to start, run git init from Project root, then npx react-native start.

4. Android:

• Copy the regula.license file to the example/android/app/src/main/assets folder.
• Run npx react-native run-android inside example folder - this is just one way to run the app. You can also run it directly from within Android Studio. Note: npx react-native log-android is used to view logs.

Note: if the running failed with the following error Error: spawn ./gradlew EACCES, try to run the following command chmod +x gradlew within the example/android directory.

5. iOS:

• Copy the regula.license file to the example/ios/DocumentReader folder.
• Run npx react-native run-ios inside example folder - this is just one way to run the app. You can also run it directly from within Xcode.
