Packing List Mobile App

A minimal Expo-powered React Native starter written in TypeScript that renders a friendly “Hello, world!” message. Use this repository as a jumping-off point for building a more complete packing list experience.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm (bundled with Node.js)
• Expo CLI (optional but recommended)
• iOS Simulator (Xcode) or Android Emulator (Android Studio) for local device testing, or the Expo Go app on a physical device

Installation

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. (Optional) Install Expo CLI globally if you plan to use the expo command:

   npm install --global expo-cli

Running the App

• Launch the Expo development server:

  npm run start

• Open the project on an Android emulator/device:

  npm run android

• Open the project on an iOS simulator/device:

  npm run ios

• Open the project in a web browser:

  npm run web

When the development server starts, follow the on-screen instructions to open the project in Expo Go or your preferred simulator.
