Intro to Expo

For macOS: Click "Launch iOS Simulator" in the web interface (XCode needs to be installed for this)

Expo allows for 'hot-reloading' - the app running in the Simulator should reflect any updates/modifications to the source code without neededing to restart the Expo daemon.

iOS and Android users can download the Expo client from the App Store/Play Store and use it with the daemon process described above; instead of choosing "[...] Simulator".

If both the host and mobile device are connected to the same network (and Expo is running in 'LAN' mode), the Expo mobile client will detect the {IP}:{port} of the host and run the compiled app on the device.

• Note: This project is currently using the 'Managed Workflow' approach described in [1] as opposed to the 'Bare Workflow'. For now, it does not seem likely that the features in the 'Bare Workflow' model will be useful to us; regardless, migrating from Managed -> Bare is fairly straightforward (should it be necessary).
