Lendsqr News

The project includes a login page that requires users login with a Google account to access the news page, a sign up page for users who do not have an account, a news page with current news listings (a placeholder api was used because the provided rapidapi was no longer accessible) and a profile page that has details about the developer where users can also logout

Steps in implementation

I created an error boundary screen that is displayed when the app crashes to improve user experience and also reported all crashes using Firebase Crashlytics. I implemented Google signin with support of Firebase Authentication. I used Firebase Performance to trace the slow rendering screens and api fetching performance. I used Firebase Analytics to track user interactions and events around the application I implemented Firebase messaging to send push notifications to users

Getting Started

Step 1: Start the Metro Server

First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native.

To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

# using npm
npm start

# OR using Yarn
yarn start

Step 2: Start your Application

Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal from the root of your React Native project. Run the following command to start your Android or iOS app:

For Android

# using npm
npm run android

# OR using Yarn
yarn android

For iOS

# using npm
npm run ios

# OR using Yarn
yarn ios

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in your Android Emulator or iOS Simulator shortly provided you have set up your emulator/simulator correctly.

This is one way to run your app — you can also run it directly from within Android Studio and Xcode respectively.
