Social App

In-progress social app.

Uses:

• React Native
• React Native for Web
• React Navigation
• MobX and MobX State Tree
• Async Storage

Build instructions

• Setup your environment using the react native instructions.
• After initial setup:
  • cd ios ; pod install
• Start the dev servers
  • yarn dev-pds
  • yarn dev-wallet
• Run the dev app
  • iOS: yarn ios
  • Android: yarn android
  • Web: yarn web
• Tips
  • npx react-native info Checks what has been installed.
  • On M1 macs, you need to exclude "arm64" from the target architectures
    • Annoyingly this must be re-set via XCode after every pod install

Various notes

• "SSO" flows on mobile
  • Suggests we might want to use ASWebAuthenticationSession on iOS
  • react-native-inappbrowser-reborn with openAuth: true might be worth exploring
  • We might even get rejected by the app store if we don't
• Cryptography
  • We rely on isomorphic-webcrypto
  • For the CRNG this uses react-native-securerandom which provides proper random on mobile
  • For the crypto this uses msrcrypto - but we should consider switching to the MS maintained version
  • In the future it might be preferable to move off of msrcrypto and use iOS and Android native modules, but nothing is available right now
