Welcome to your Expo + Native Tabs app 📱👋

This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app. It uses react-native-bottom-tabs to render a real native tab bar.

Get started

1. Install dependencies

   npm install

2. Build and run the app

   npm run android
   # or
   npm run ios

   This creates a development build, installs it on an Android emulator or iOS simulator, and starts the dev server. Once the app is installed, npm start is enough on its own.

Note: This project requires a development build. It cannot run in Expo Go, which only bundles Expo's own native modules - and the native tab bar is not one of them.

Before you build for a real device or a store, change ios.bundleIdentifier and android.package in app.json from com.example.nativetabs to your own identifiers.

You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.

Get a fresh project

When you're ready, run:

npm run reset-project

This command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.
