React native build - how to download new beta app

  Quote

hello, im trying to create a react native build in the beta version but its doesnt work 🙂 is there any way to download the new beta app ? the UI looks amazing

This is question from Roy (via contact form).

Roy, thank you for your question and for your feedback regarding the UI. 

Currently the React Native version is outdated. 

You have options:

1) Wait for the Chat Component NPM version for React Native which we plan to release in January. It will be similar to this one https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ethora/chat-component or what you can see in the web version currently, but for mobile (React Native).

2) Use the current (old) version available here: https://github.com/dappros/ethora-app-react-native. The web builder and downloader for RN is currently not working while we are building the new version. If you are in a rush and wish to use the last (older) version you can build it from Github. Please drop us a line if you need help building it, we'll be happy to assist. 

3) Another option is to use the web version on mobile as your current prototype, while waiting for our mobile native (RN) build. So basically you can navigate to https://beta.ethora.com/ on your mobile device, go to "Chats" and see how it works there. There are slight UI improvements that we're going to release later this week. You can build your own branded app in a similar way and navigate to your own subdomain URL to test it. Then once our latest RN build is ready, from your Admin screens you will be able to download the RN build and prepare a mobile native build with same branding, app name etc that already works in your web version.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Taras

As an update on this item, our R&D team has made a good progress on track (1) and there is already a sneak peek video of Chat Component working in React Native version, running natively on mobile devices (see video below).

This reinforces our planning for the January release.

Stay tuned!
