React native is such a pain to get started with! I feel like Ive wasted way too much time just trying to set up a functioning example. I'm too stubborn to give in. I'm about to rage code right now lol

maybe you try teleriks nativescript?
it looks easier to me. :)

I found react native quite easy to get started with. What problems are you having?

@tahnik so I tried to set it up by running a basic example. However I kept getting reference errors, no matter what I tried I couldn't resolve them. Finally I just decided to use a starter kit that included webpack and it was really easy to get working, sigh... I should have just used webpack from the beginning but I thought it could potentially make the setup more complicated.

@reduxtris I'm glad to know that you are finding the webpack build much easier to start with.

Although I would suggest that you try to fix the problem you were having before. This will open up a lot of confusion on how React Native works.

Enjoy!

Yeah, sigh, I tried to debug it all day yesterday. Installed different versions of dependencies and xcode. Seemed like an issue related to es6 transpiling but that could have just been a further side effect of my attempts to get the right versions installed of everything. I think I'll have to come back to this later after I get more oriented with debugging these apps. StackOverFlow solutions to similar problems didn't fix it so the issue must be confounding -.-

Webpack was a false positive grr Still no luck!
