Tips:

1. Make sure Xcode command line tools are installed

sudo xcode-select -p # should be /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer # set to correct one
sudo xcodebuild -license # accept license

Build and run

1. Install libraries using Yarn(npm should work too)

yarn install

If you are building the example-tv (for TV devices) app for the first time

yarn tv:prebuild

2. Build the Recurly Engage SDK

yarn build

3. Run the example app

# Run the mobile example app
yarn example

# or, run the Android TV example app
yarn tv:android

# or, run the tvOS example app
yarn tv:tvos

Installation

The SDK is published on the public npm registry — no authentication token required.

npm install @recurly/engage-core @recurly/engage-react-native
# or
yarn add @recurly/engage-core @recurly/engage-react-native

Launch example-tv app in a physical Apple TV

npm install -g expo

2. go to the example-tv folder, and start metro. You should see something like Metro waiting on exp://...:8081 in the terminal

npx expo start

3. open the xcode with the project files from the example-tv/ios/exampletv folder
4. from xcode, make sure the signing provisioning profile is correct
5. from xcode, run the app toward your physical device
6. then in your terminal, you will see the javascript is built and ready to use

Common Errors

1. can't load app in an iOS simulator

error from expo, Xcode must be fully installed before you can continue. Continue to the App Store. make sure you have xcode and an iOS simulator running. then if it still doesn't work, run sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app to instruct expo the Xcode location

2. android TV emulator failed to call the ping api

don't know the exact reason. you just need to delete the emulator and create a new one
