Summary: public By doing this we fix 2 problems: 1. We use the same url, both the first time the simulator starts with Hot Loading disabled (no `hot` attribute), and after HL has been enabled and then disabled ('hot=false'). By doing so, the packager will rebuild more than one bundle as file changes. We could have ignored this attribute on the packager but I'd rather not contaminate the server with it and instead make the clients send only 2 types of URLs. 2. The code on `RCTBatchedBridge.m` that decides whether or not to enable HMR does so by looking at presence of the query string parameter `hot`. If the parameter is present, even when it's false, it will try to enable HL, which is wrong.

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).
