From the web browser interface, in the left navigation area, click "Run on IOS Simulator" or "Run on Android device/emulator" or "Publish or republish project" to publish to a free Expo.io account.
This app was build using the Expo.io framework to generate both iOS and Android phone apps for EarthGuardians.org.
Expo offers "managed" and "ejected" versions of React-Native software. The earth-guardians app uses the "managed" solution. "Ejected" solutions are platform specfic and remove the power of Expo to generate cross-platform apps. It is 'not recommended' to "eject" this project.
The backend of the app uses GraphQL and Prisma
The Production Prisma DB is located at https://eg-production-879cf73477.herokuapp.com/
The Profile Picuture feature in the app utilized Amazon Web Services S3
The buckets used are located at https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/eg-profile-pics-production/uploads/
The app is connected to Google Analytics and can be acessed with EarthGuardians.org credentials.
Modals must live on the App level, but the AppNavigator component will not allow properties to be passed early. To solve this the app uses the PubSub-JS package to handle internal messaging
