Lesson 2: Project Creation

A custom setting for overriding the project template can be used to substitute a project template with your own preferred custom setup.

  2. Open the command palette in VS Code and search for the Open User Settings option.
  3. Update your user settings to have the extension use the workshop starter repository when provisioning new projects from scratch. You can optionally create a fork and use th
{
    "appcenter.demoAppGitRepo": "https://github.com/pniko/chain-react-2018",
    "appcenter.api.configurebranchandstartnewbuild": true
}
  1. Log in to the App Center extension using CMD+SHIFT+P to open the command palette or the App Center button in the task bar.
  2. Open the command palette and search for Start a New Project. Enter an application name and select an App Center location for your new React Native iOS and Android applications.
  3. Execute react-native run-ios or react-native run-android to verify you can build and run your newly created project.

Sign and Distribute

  1. Quick navigate to either app in App Center and configure your iOS signing certificate and profile or Android java keystore.
  2. Configure your application to distribute to the collaborators group in App Center and start a new build.

Exit Criteria

  1. App Center VS Code extension authenticated for App Center.
  2. Workshop project has been created locally on your computer.
  3. App Center apps for Android and iOS have been created and built.
  4. Android or iOS app is signed and configured for distribution in App Center.
