How to build the demo application

1. Download or the clone current repository using the command git clone https://github.com/regulaforensics/react-native-face-api.git.
2. Run the following commands within the root directory:

$ cd example
$ npm install
$ cd ios
$ pod install

Note: make sure that Metro Bundler is running when you run your app. Otherwise, run npx react-native start command. If it fails to start, run git init from Project root, then npx react-native start.

3. Android:

• Run npx react-native run-android inside example folder - this is just one way to run the app. You can also run it directly from within Android Studio.

Note: if the running failed with the following error Error: spawn ./gradlew EACCES, try to run the following command chmod +x gradlew within the example/android directory.

4. iOS:

• Run npx react-native run-ios inside example folder - this is just one way to run the app. You can also run it directly from within Xcode.

How to use offine match

1. Place a license that supports offline match at android/app/src/main/assets/regula.license and ios/license/regula.license.
2. Change android and iOS bundle id if required by your license with the following commands(replace ANDROID_ID and IOS_ID with actual ids):

git init
npx react-native-rename@latest "FaceApi" --androidBundleID "ANDROID_ID" --iosBundleID "IOS_ID" --skipGitStatusCheck

3. Change core with the following commands:

npm uninstall @regulaforensics/react-native-face-core-basic
npm install @regulaforensics/react-native-face-core-match

4. Turn off the internet and run the app.
