In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
Builds the app for production for Cordova by appending Cordova specific tags to the built index.html by using the _inject-cordova.js script.
Simply removes the www/ directory.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
After pulling down the repository run the following npm install && cordova prepare to install all the dependencies and prepare the cordova targerted platforms.
To run in development mode run:
npm start
Note: You need to install SDKs for each platform that you wish to target. Read this to check what requirements need to be satisfied: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/cli/index.html#install-pre-requisites-for-building Generally you will have to install Android Studio, XCode, SDKs, emulators, build systems, etc.
To create a build for either platform run:
npm run build:cordova
To run the app on a simulator:
cordova emulate ios
cordova emulate android
To run the app on a device:
cordova run ios
cordova run android
To create a production build:
npm run build
If the build is going to be living in a subdirectory and not the root path and it would be accessed by some relative path such as /ilab/complychain then we need to set a environmental variable before kicking of the build scripts. We can do that with the following commands:
Bash (Linux / MacOS)
PUBLIC_URL=/ilab/complychain npm run build
Windows
set PUBLIC_URL=/ilab/complychain&& npm run build:win
Note: Ensure there is no space before &&. This is intentional.
To run the production build:
npm run server
Open http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser.

To prepare for distribution on the Apple App Store, you need to create an archive. In Xcode make sure the app is properly provisioned and signed for distribution. Next run npm run build:cordova followed by cordova prepare to copy any assets and plugins. Then in Xcode, ensure the version and build numbers are properly set and choose a generic device target from the Scheme toolbar menu. Then choose Product > Archive. If there is an issue uploading to the App Store from the Archives window one can try to instead export the archive and upload it via Application Loader.
To prepare for distribution on the Google Play Store, run npm run build:cordova followed by cordova build android --release which will result in an APK that needs to be signed. Then run:
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore android.keystore app-release-unsigned.apk alias-name
where android.keystore is the location of the keystore and alias-name is the alias for your key. Make sure you have Android Studio installed because it will also come with the zipalign tool. For Mac OS you can find it in ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/{version}/zipalign. Then run:
~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/{version}/zipalign -v 4 app-release-unsigned.apk release.apk
followed by uploading the build to the Google Play Console.
