Summary: This moves into open source the PermissionsModule and the activity and listener interfaces necessary to make permissions work. It also moves the PermissionsExample into the UIExplorer. In order to make this work, the device has to be Android M and above, and the target sdk of the app has to be 23+, so I changed the uiexplorer manifest to target that API. This has the unfortunate consequence that people testing on devices with API 23+ will have to enable the `draw over other apps` setting that react needs for RedBoxing. The app will automatically send the user to that screen, so enabling the setting and resuming the app should be trivial. For testing, try requesting permission for a permission that is currently revoked. If a permission is granted, it can be revoked via adb (`adb shell pm revoke com.your.app android.permission.PERMISSION_NAME`), and then requested.

UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeproj
in Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch uiexplorer
buck install -r uiexplorer
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init
which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json
file (and build.gradle
for Android apps).
