Let's do some React Native

Software requirements:

• Xcode 6.4
• Homebrew
• Node: brew install node
• Watchman: brew install watchman
• React Native command line: npm install -g react-native-cli

Then:

• Get this repo: git clone [email protected]:meetup/react-native-demo.git
• Change to directory cd react-native-demo
• Install required npm packages npm install
• Open it in Xcode open rndemo.xcodeproj
• Hit the "play" button in the upper left of Xcode, or hit ⌘R

The project should run in the iOS simulator. If you get stuck, ping Rick on HipChat.

If you'd like to start experimenting, open up the react-native-demo directory in a text editor (not Xcode). A good place to start is demo.ios.js -- that's the component that is being loaded as the start screen.
