Set Up

  • Suggested Node version 16.x. If you have a higher version, use nvm to install and use v16.
  • Run yarn|npm install to install dependencies.
  • Install the OneSignal Expo SDK for Expo. expo install onesignal-expo-plugin. The onesignal library will be installed since its a dependency in the package.json.
  • Run npx expo start to start up the Metro Bundler, now you can either run the app in an emulator running in your machine. Or run it on your physical device using the Expo Go/Client App.
Note: Expo will not link the OneSignal plugin if you run the `npx expo start` command. 
The app will function, but OneSignal will not work.

  • Run expo prebuild. This creates the build folders. android/ & /ios.

  • Finally, run npx expo run:[platform]. Replace [platform] with your native platform.

Development Builds (Added in second commit)

Start the development build by running npx expo start --dev-client. Using this, you can test OneSignal without having to build the app. Saves the trouble of building.
