Overview
A client wanted its Expo app rebuilt as a bare React Native project. We created a bare React Native project, moved its screens across (login, OTP, messaging, chat, notes, transcription output and ratings), replaced libraries that did not carry over, configured Firebase, and fixed the iOS and Android build and upload problems.
What we built
- New bare React Native project with the libraries the app needed
- Screens moved across: login, registration, OTP, home, messaging, chat, notes, transcription output and ratings
- Firebase configuration and error fixes
- Navigation fixes and library replacements
- iOS and Android build and store upload fixes
