  • Enhanced safety scripts
  • Complete ReactNativeTest documentation
  • Critical GitHub Copilot instructions - Enhanced

Zero-dependency React Native project creator with comprehensive ReactNativeTest documentation and path-aware scripts

πŸš€ Latest Updates: Path-Aware Scripts & iOS Configuration

βœ… Fixes Applied Based on Chat Analysis (cc-0809.1036.md)

The enhanced version addresses critical path resolution issues identified in the TestAppN development process:

πŸ”§ Path Resolution Issues Fixed

  • Metro Startup: Auto-detects project directory using $(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")
  • iOS Launch: Validates and sets working directory before building
  • Configuration Scripts: Use absolute paths to prevent directory navigation errors
  • Bundle ID/Team ID Setup: Automatic project detection and path validation

πŸ“± Enhanced iOS Configuration

  • configure-ios.sh - Interactive Bundle ID and Team ID setup with path validation
  • test-ios-build.sh - Comprehensive build readiness testing with auto-detection
  • Smart Launch Protocol - Eliminates "Unable to boot device" and path-related errors

πŸ“‹ New Template Scripts (template-scripts/)

Script Purpose Key Enhancement
enhanced-start-metro.sh Metro startup Auto-detects project directory, handles port conflicts
smart-ios-launch.sh iOS simulator launch Path validation, configuration display, error handling
configure-ios.sh iOS Bundle ID/Team ID setup Interactive configuration with validation
test-ios-build.sh Build readiness verification Comprehensive project validation

πŸš€ Quick Start

Option 1: Complete Project Creation (Recommended)

./create-react-native-app.sh

Creates a new React Native project with:

  • Enterprise-grade configuration
  • Enhanced safety scripts
  • Complete ReactNativeTest documentation

  • Build Readiness Testing - Comprehensive validation before builds

πŸ“¦ New Package Scripts Added

Projects created with the enhanced script include these additional npm scripts:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start-safe": "./start-metro.sh",
    "ios-simulator": "./ios-smart-launch.sh",
    "configure-ios": "./configure-ios.sh",
    "test-ios-build": "./test-ios-build.sh",
    "verify-project": "echo \"βœ… Project: $(pwd)\" && ls -la index.js package.json ios/"
  }
}

πŸ”§ Two-Script Architecture

Main Creator Script

create-react-native-app.sh - Creates complete projects

Documentation Exporter

export-reusable-docs.sh - Adds documentation to any project

Benefits:

  • βœ… Modular Design - Use scripts independently
  • βœ… Maintainable - Easy to update documentation
  • βœ… Flexible - Add docs to any React Native project
  • βœ… Clean - No embedded content in main script

πŸ“‹ Usage Examples

Create New Project

cd react-native-app-creator
./create-react-native-app.sh
# Follow prompts for project name, architecture, documentation

Add Documentation to Existing Project

cd your-existing-react-native-project
/path/to/react-native-app-creator/export-reusable-docs.sh

Export Documentation Anywhere

# From the portable directory
./export-reusable-docs.sh /path/to/any/react-native-project

🚨 Critical First Step

After creating any project, immediately commit the Copilot instructions:

cd your-new-project
git add .github/copilot-instructions.md
git commit -m "Add critical Copilot instructions for code quality"
git push

This ensures enterprise-grade code quality from day one.
