Christine Abernathy 09958618c5 Adding emulator, simulator UIExplorer example across docs
Summary:Current docs show an Appetize.io example for AlertIOS doc. This pull request adds that feature across all applicable iOS and Android docs. So if a doc has an example in UIExplorer, it shows up in the top right and clicking to Play should navigate to the relevant example.

The changes here also touched NavigationExperimental to fix a typo that prevented iOS deep link from working. Code was also added to help support Android deep links but there's an outstanding issue (a race condition) around how Android deep links trigger getInitialURL in NavigationRootContainer that prevents this from fully working.

For adding the docs, a few things were done outside this pull request:

1/ Release builds for UIExplorer Android and iOS apps were uploaded to Appetize.io. The Appetize.io info (public key to run the build) is embedded in the docs.
2/ The iOS build was generated by making a few changes to get a local bundle. The current UIExplorer set up doesn't support "react-native run-ios".

Regarding the Appetize bu

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.

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).
