Ok I’ve had to run multiple npm installs to get the project to finally start with npm start, then I installed the app on my phone but there is no option for a qr reader in the app anywhere or anywhere through the help section. I can’t get a simulator to run either. I was asked in the terminal to install xcode even though I wouldn’t be using it. This is all very confusing and not nearly as smooth as the instructions dictate. When was the video made? How often is content updated? I’ve been following along step by step and have issues every time. Any insight or help appreciated.
Update: After a little bit of time, multiple reboots and attempts instead of npm start I entered expo start and it started up faster. Is this a difference between mac and windows? Is it an updated form of starting the app? Again any help or insight appreciated.
I have been facing some timeout problems between Expo and the Android App Expo Go.
If someone is facing this kind of problem, I`ve solved in the following way.
Check out that your computer and mobile device are in the same network.
Verify in your computer that your network profile, is settled as “Private Network”.
In your computer firewall configuration create a rule that allow TCP protocol in the port: 19000
Could the course please be updated? Running npm start to open metro bundler no longer seems to be supported nor does Expo Go seem able to open the app by scanning the QR code as outlined in the tutorial.
I know there must be a lot of moving pieces to keep track of when it comes to teaching coding as things are always changing, but for $43 per month the courses should stay up-to-date.
Often it is necessary to speed learn new languages / technologies (it is why I am subscribed), but such frictions significantly impede my ability to do that when time is of the essence. I love codecademy, but please update your tutorials!
I got windows PC running the npm start I get the output with he QR code.
I run the App on my android but everytime I *either by scanning he QR or manually entering) I get “Something went wrong”. I have also made sure that the Computer and Phon is running on the same network and made doubly sure it’s the only network either of the devices running on.
Seeing as this lesson have had issues for over 3 years now, with no Responce, I doubt this course is gonna be doable.
UPDATE:
I just tried expo start, and got told that the expo-cli we got told to start is now considered Legacy version
They recommend the use of npx expo <command> instead.
totally agree the information is like from 2019… I think I’ll look for another platform. Since this message has been here from october 2023 and now its june 2024 and still not fixed.
