Running the iOS app 📱

• To run a on a Development Simulator: npm run ios
• Changes applied to Javascript will be applied automatically, any changes to native code will require a recompile
• In order

Running the Android app 🤖

• Running via ngrok is required, see step 3 in Getting Started
• To run a on a Development Emulator: npm run android

Troubleshooting

1. If you are having issues with Getting Started, please reference React Native's Documentation
2. If you are running into issues communicating with expensify.com.dev (CORS, SSL, etc.), running via ngrok is recommended, see step 3 in Getting Started

Debugging

1. If running on the iOS simulator ⌘D, or ⌘M on Android emulator will open the debugging menu.
2. This will allow you to attach a debugger in your IDE, React Developer Tools, or your browser.
3. For more information on how to attach a debugger, see React Native Debugging Documentation
