Follow instructions for your given development OS and target OS.

To create a new project using the boilerplate simply run :

npx react-native init MyApp --template @handidev/react-native-boilerplate

npx react-native init MyApp --template @handidev/react-native-typescript-boilerplate

• yarn start / npm start -- -- reset-cache to start the metro bundler, in a dedicated terminal
• npx react-native run-ios / npx react-native run-android to run the platform application (remember to start a simulator or connect a device)

Run this command chmod 755 android/gradlew from your root project directory

• Go to your Project -> Android

• Create a file local.properties

• Open the file
