TravelBlock

Expo + React Native mobile app (Android-first). TravelBlock is an Expo Router app for a flight-simulator-style focus loop: set a home airport, choose a flight duration, book a route, move through boarding, and enter a live cockpit view with diversion support. The repository is configured for development with EAS workflows and an Expo dev client.

Status: v0.8.0-alpha stabilization baseline. Core onboarding, airport selection, booking flow, and cockpit simulation are implemented. Logbook/history, analytics, audio immersion, and rewards systems are still upcoming.

Quick start

Prerequisites

• Node.js (LTS)
• npm
• npx (bundled with npm)

Install

npm install

Start Metro (development server)

npm run start
# or to open directly on an Android device/emulator
npm run android

Create development builds (EAS)

# Creates development builds via the preconfigured workflow
npm run development-builds

Notes about development builds

• The project uses EAS Workflows defined in .eas/workflows/create-development-builds.yml.
• This workflow was adjusted to only queue Android builds (see .eas/workflows/create-development-builds.yml).
• EAS will snapshot the repository at build submission time — local edits after submission do not affect queued builds.
• Keystore generation for Android is interactive by default; run the EAS credential flow locally the first time so remote builds don't fail in non-interactive CI.

Credentials / common EAS commands

# Login to Expo/EAS
npx eas-cli@latest login
# Inspect builds
npx eas-cli@latest build:list
npx eas-cli@latest build:view <BUILD_ID>
# Manage credentials locally
npx eas-cli@latest credentials

Testing & linting

npm test
npm run test:expo
npm run test:coverage
npm run lint

Reset project (create a fresh app folder)

npm run reset-project
