After upgrading `react-native` to `0.72.5` we frequently started seeing the _red screen of death_ on both `Android` and `iOS` simulators right after the app was built and installed.
This used to happen because our workflow required us to do the following :
- `make run-clojure`
- `make run-metro`
- `make run-ios` OR `make run-android`
The problem with this approach was after `metro` was started the `iOS`, `Android` build step would change the files that `metro` couldn't handle and hence metro would go out of sync.
The quick fix back then was to restart `metro` terminal and to open the app again from the simulator.
This was however not a good DX.
This commit fixes that.
We no longer rely on `react-native` cli to generate and deploy debug builds on simulators. We take control of the process via our own script. The new workflow introduced in this commit will first build the app, then install the app on the simulators and then start metro terminal. When `metro` is successfully running the script will then open the app.
The new workflow now is :
- `make run-clojure`
- `make run-ios` OR `make run-android`
Document how a VSCode user can configure their editor to auto-format
Clojure(Script) files that respect all the formatter (zprint) settings specified
in status-mobile/.zprintrc.
The result should be that on every file save, the file should be identically
formatted as if you used make lint-fix, at least the part about zprint. If
lint-fix does other things now or in the future that are outside the scope of
zprint, those won't be covered by the VSCode extension.
This commit updates the broken link of `Status development` in the `Start and connect the REPL` section of `ide-setup.md`.
