npm run iosThe app uses
expo-dev-clientand requires a development build. Runnpx expo prebuildbefore the first launch on a physical device or emulator.
The app follows a straightforward React Native architecture:
- Auth flow — JWT tokens stored in
expo-secure-store, managed via React Context. All API requests inject the bearer token automatically through an Axios interceptor. - Navigation — Conditional rendering between
AuthNavigator(login) andAppNavigator(main app) based on auth state. The main app uses bottom tabs with nested stack navigators. - API layer — Centralized Axios client with per-domain service modules. A custom
useApihook handles loading and error states for all network calls. - Real-time — Live stream chat runs over Socket.io with event-based message handling.
