Social App

In-progress social app.

Uses:

• React Native
• React Native for Web
• React Navigation
• MobX
• Async Storage

Build instructions

• Setup your environment using the react native instructions.
• After initial setup:
  • cd ios ; pod install
• Start the dev servers
  • git clone git@github.com:bluesky-social/atproto.git
  • cd atproto
  • yarn
  • cd packages/dev-env && yarn start
• 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
  • The android simulator won't be able to access localhost services unless you run adb reverse tcp:{PORT} tcp:{PORT}
    • For instance, the localhosted dev-wallet will need adb reverse tcp:3001 tcp:3001
  • For some reason, the typescript compiler chokes on platform-specific files (e.g. foo.native.ts) but only when compiling for Web thus far. Therefore we always have one version of the file which doesn't use a platform specifier, and that should bee the Web version. (More info.)

Various notes

Polyfills

./platform/polyfills.*.ts adds polyfills to the environment. Currently this includes:

• TextEncoder / TextDecoder
