I wanted to review one of the showcase application from react native [github library][1], and instead I wasted all day trying to debug errors and install modules and jdk, moving from one error to another.
So I just have a few question for the people here who got the hang of it:
Why when I run npm start it opens up metro bundler at 8081? Is it like expo, where I can connect through wifi or they just show of they can use network?
Running the app on my device seemed tedious so I run Android Emulator -> cmd: react-native run-android and I got error after error* during the build process. Is it really how things suppose to be? It's a project on their official github, I did nothing else besides the instructions on their website and I get uninformatic isoteric errors.
What is the correct way to import and play react-native project from your experience?
*Latest one was Execution failed for task ':react-native-fast-image:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
Thank you.
