🌟 Why This Stands Out

// Example: Pre-configured responsive sizing
import { scale, verticalScale } from 'react-native-size-matters';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    padding: scale(20),       // Responsive horizontal
    marginTop: verticalScale(10) // Responsive vertical
  }
});

🔧 Troubleshooting

Pod Install Issues (iOS)

Problem: Unable to find a specification for RNWorklets depended upon by RNReanimated

Solution: This template uses [email protected] to prevent this issue. If you still encounter problems:

# Method 1: Update pod repos
cd ios && pod install --repo-update

# Method 2: Clean and reinstall
cd ios && rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock && pod install

# Method 3: Reset pod cache
pod cache clean --all && pod install

Why this happens: Newer versions of react-native-reanimated depend on RNWorklets, but dependency resolution can fail. Our template pins to a stable version.

Common npm Install Errors

# ❌ Wrong syntax
npm install "react-native-reanimated": "^3.19.0"

# ✅ Correct syntax  
npm install [email protected]

Metro Bundle Issues

# Reset Metro cache
npx react-native start --reset-cache

# Clean build folders
cd android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..
cd ios && xcodebuild clean && cd ..
