Make sure your deployment target is set to at least 13.0.

### Getting started
-Since this SDK is npm package, it does not need to be compiled separately.
+Make sure your you have a working [React Native development environemnt](https://reactnative.dev/docs/set-up-your-environment). Make sure to
-## Work on Ami App locally
-
-We use the [Ami App](https://github.com/customerio/amiapp-reactnative) to test the SDK in a real-world environment.
-
-When you install dependencies via yarn/npm in react native app, you can install it from your local machine directly. You need to follow the following steps to use local version of the SDK
-
-1. Go to `package.json` of your react native app
-1. Find the SDK dependency i.e. `"customerio-reactnative": "{version}"`
-1. Update the SDK version to path of the SDK e.g. `"customerio-reactnative": "../customerio-reactnative"`
-1. Run `yarn install` to update dependencies and use local version of SDK instead
-
-### Android
-
-Android SDK can be tested locally by following [instructions from native SDK](https://github.com/customerio/customerio-android/blob/develop/docs/dev-notes/DEVELOPMENT.md#work-on-remote-habits-locally). Once SDK release is installed locally, it can be included in Ami App using any of the following options:
-
-### Option 1: Updating in SDK
-
-Updating [`gradle.properties`](https://github.com/customerio/customerio-reactnative/blob/develop/android/gradle.properties) to use local version by updating following line:
+## Work on SDK Locally
+1. Firt thing you will need to clone the repo and its submodules
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/customerio/customerio-reactnative --recursive
```
-customerio.reactnative.cioSDKVersionAndroid=local
-```
-
-### Option 2: Updating in Ami App
-
-React Native SDK allows overriding SDK version on app side, so Ami App can override the version and use local release instead by [adding the following line in `gradle.properties`](https://github.com/customerio/amiapp-reactnative/blob/main/android/gradle.properties)
-
-```
-cioSDKVersionAndroid=local
-```
-
----
-
-### iOS
-
-iOS SDK cannot be tested locally at this time. You must instead refer to a version of the iOS SDK already released to production.
-
-If you make changes to native code, it sometimes may not be reflected in the app. View the [Ami App docs](https://github.com/customerio/amiapp-reactnative/blob/HEAD/docs/dev-notes/DEVELOPMENT.md#work-on-sdk-locally) for next steps on getting Ami App to install the SDK from your local directory.
+2. Then run the following commands in order
+ - `cd customerio-reactnative`
+ - `yarn install`
+ - `yarn example pods` This is required only if you want to run the iOS sample app
+ - `yarn example start`
-> Please note that currently there is no script or automation that helps you make the changes, so you should revert the changes in `package.json` and `yarn.lock` for local version of `customerio-reactnative` before pushing any changes to git.
+At this point you can chose whether to run the iOS/Android example apps and you can open the native project for each in `example/ios` and `example/android` if you want to be able to debug the native code with the native development IDE.

>**Note**: Make sure you have completed the [React Native - Environment Setup](https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup) instructions till "Creating a new application" step, before proceeding.
-## Step 1: Start the Metro Server
+## Install all dependencies
+First thing, run `yarn install`
+then `yarn pods` to install the iOS pods
-First, you will need to start **Metro**, the JavaScript _bundler_ that ships _with_ React Native.
+## Run the iOS app
+You can run the app directly from the command line or from Xcode.
-To start Metro, run the following command from the _root_ of your React Native project:
-
-```bash
-# using npm
-npm start
-
-# OR using Yarn
-yarn start
+### Run from CMD
+This app contains two targets, one is set up to use Apple Push Notification Service (APN) and the other uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
+You can run any of them with one of the two commands
```
-
-## 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
-
-```bash
-# using npm
-npm run android
-
-# OR using Yarn
-yarn android
+yarn ios-apn
+# Or
+yarn ios-fcm
```
-### For iOS
-
-```bash
-# 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.
-
-## Step 3: Modifying your App
-
-Now that you have successfully run the app, let's modify it.
-
-1. Open `App.tsx` in your text editor of choice and edit some lines.
-2. For **Android**: Press the R key twice or select **"Reload"** from the **Developer Menu** (Ctrl + M (on Window and Linux) or Cmd ⌘ + M (on macOS)) to see your changes!
-
- For **iOS**: Hit Cmd ⌘ + R in your iOS Simulator to reload the app and see your changes!
-
