SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you run and debug a WaveMaker React Native app locally or build a distributable Android APK/AAB or iOS IPA without figuring out the full WaveMaker-to-Expo-to-native toolchain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sync/preview from Studio: Uses a WaveMaker Studio preview URL to authenticate, download project sources, transpile with rn-codegen into a runnable Expo app, and keep it updated as you change code in Studio.
  • Web preview in a browser: Runs the React Native app via a web-preview pathway for faster iteration on the UI.
  • Build native binaries from an exported RN zip: Converts an already-exported WaveMaker React Native bundle into native Android builds (APK/AAB) or an iOS IPA.
  • Use case: When a teammate says “we need a quick local test,” you can sync from Studio to run on an emulator/device, or if QA needs binaries, build from the exported zip for release testing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an Android APK or iOS IPA from a WaveMaker React Native app?

To sync a WaveMaker React Native app locally, provide a Studio preview URL to authenticate and download project sources. The toolchain transpiles the code using rn-codegen into a runnable Expo app, allowing you to run and test it on an emulator or physical device.

Do I need Xcode and CocoaPods to build an iOS IPA from a WaveMaker React Native project?

Yes, building an iOS IPA from a WaveMaker React Native project requires macOS, Xcode, CocoaPods, LibreSSL, and valid certificates. These platform-specific prerequisites are necessary for the native Expo prebuild execution and successful iOS binary generation.

Can I preview a React Native app in a browser for faster UI iteration?

Building an Android APK or AAB from a WaveMaker React Native app requires Java, Gradle, and the Android SDK. These platform-specific prerequisites are mandatory for running the Expo prebuild and native build execution to produce distributable Android binaries.

How do I sync a WaveMaker React Native app locally for device testing?

To sync a WaveMaker React Native app locally, provide a Studio preview URL to authenticate and download project sources. The toolchain transpiles the code using rn-codegen into a runnable Expo app, allowing you to run and test it on an emulator or physical device.

Can I preview a React Native app in a browser for faster UI iteration?

Yes, you can preview a React Native app in a browser for faster UI iteration using the web-preview pathway. This allows you to run the Expo-based app locally and quickly test UI changes without needing an emulator or physical device.

Do I need Xcode and CocoaPods to build an iOS IPA from a WaveMaker React Native project?

Yes, building an iOS IPA from a WaveMaker React Native project requires macOS, Xcode, CocoaPods, LibreSSL, and valid certificates. These platform-specific prerequisites are mandatory for the native Expo prebuild execution and successful iOS binary generation.
