Before building and running the project, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (Recommended: v18 or later)
• Expo CLI
  Install with:

  npm install -g expo-cli

• A package manager (like npm or yarn)
• Git
• An emulator (Android Studio or Xcode), or a physical device with the Expo Go app

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git
   cd your-repo-name

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   # or
   yarn install

To start the development server, run:

npm start
# or
yarn start

This will open the Expo Developer Tools in your browser.

• Download Expo Go from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
• Scan the QR code shown in the terminal or in Expo Developer Tools.

• Start your emulator (Android Studio or Xcode Simulator).

• Run:

  npm run android   # for Android
  npm run ios       # for iOS (Mac only, requires Xcode)

To create a production build (for submission to app stores), use:

npx expo prebuild   # Only if switching from managed to bare workflow
npx expo build

Or use EAS Build:

npx eas build --platform ios
npx eas build --platform android

⚠️ Note: EAS Build requires linking your project to an Expo account. Run npx expo login if needed.
