Running your react native on your Android or iOS devices

This step will be divided into two: Android & iOS part.

Android

Click here to download the Expo client app to your Android device.

Open Expo then click the “Scan QR Code” and Scan the QR code in our terminal.

As soon as the QR code got scanned, it’ll automatically load and bundle/compile your project to run it in your device.

2. iOS — iPhone

Click here to download the latest Expo client app to your iOS device.

With iOS 11, there is now a scan feature added to the camera. We can use this to scan the QR code and open the Expo client app.

Open up your camera app, then scan the QR code in our terminal until a notification badge pops on top telling us that we can open it in Expo client.

The QR Scan has been removed in Expo for iOS

However, if you’re not in iOS 11, there’s still an alternative way but not with scanning:

— Open your Expo client app and sign up/login.

— Open another new tab in your terminal and navigate to your react-native project directory and run.

cd my-new-project

expo send -s emailyou@usedinexpo.com

use the email that is logged in your expo app.

This will send an email to you with the link, clicking this link will open the app in expo. Then it’ll have your project up and running on your iPhone.

T hat’s it! you got your react-native running in Android/iOS devices.
