Native Android and iOS Apps for the Turing Board

The hardware on the Turing Board is to be interfaced with via the Turing Board app available on both Android and iOS. This app is built with React Native.

Demo

The user is to sign in with an account they can create on the app. From there, they will be taken to a Dashboard screen that opens up the utility of the Turing Board.

Usage for Developers

First, clone the repository to your local file system.

$ git clone https://github.com/TuringBoard/turing-board-native-app

Before installing all the dependencies, ensure you have Node installed, version 12 or higher is required.

$ node -v
v12.18.2

Then, install the Expo CLI

$ npm install --global expo-cli

Install the React Native CLI

$ npm install -g react-native-cli

Now you may start installing the dependencies required.

$ npm install

After installing the node modules, you want to edit one of package files to avoid getting an annoying error regarding AsyncStorage. Go to node_modules/@firebase/auth/dist/rn/index.js. Change line 5 everytime after you do an npm install from:

var asyncStorage = require('react-native')

to:

var asyncStorage = require('@react-native-async-storage/async-storage')

If you receive the error that reads:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_react.PropTypes.number')

This is because the react-native-circular-slider dependecy is calling PropTypes from the react package. You need install prop-types by running:

npm install prop-types --save

and then change the import statements in node_modules/react-native-circular-slider/src/CircularSlider.js and node_modules/react-native-circular-slider/src/ClockFace.js from:

import {PropTypes} from 'react';

to:

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
