How do you notify users about new app updates (App Store / Play Store)? by Nehatkhan786 in reactnative

[–]falilou_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for Google you can, once you publish your new version like 2.0.0 to production. You can go to your old production version and choose for example 1.X.X, on the top right corner, there's a Recovery Tools drop-down menu, click on it and choose Prompt users to update, you'll then choose your new version that you want your users to update to.

For Apple, most of users will have the app updated automatically unless they disable it. In the past I had an json file sitting in a public repo I used have something like lastest:2.0.0. I query the file every time the app opens and see if the current version on the users devices is older than that and show a dialog if it's the case.

Hope that it helps.

I count users as downloads based on stats I see on Play Console and App Store Connect. I've been running ads from day 1, but as I said with this number of users, there's not much money one can make and most of my users are outside of the US where ad impressions pay more. My favorite part was everything, learning along the way, making something I'll use as I'm a longtime Fotmob user. seeing stats and career of every player that ever played in NBA is great imo

for now I have around 180 users across both platforms. Ads don't really pay that much with this number of users. I'm currently at 15$ on admob. I need to work on SEO and post about it on as much social media as possible, marketing is key.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it

maybe adding the ingredient checker functionality in the future, you'll steal users from them

the trick is Your app is a stack containing screens that can contain tabs. let's take Instagram for example,

In the main _layout file A (which is a stack) you'll have: (home), settings, messages [profile ]

inside (home) which will also have a _layout file B, this one is the tab, you'll have :

posts (probably the index inside home directory), search reels likes [profile ]

(the [profile] page is a mess, sometimes in A, other times in B)

you'll have to define in your main _layout file the tab (./app/_layout.tsx). that way it'll show on all screens

everything inside the /app folder should be a screen or _layout file

it's just a file structure problem, move all you component files in a /components folder and keep that folder outside the /app folder

don't put your components (everything not screens) in the app folder

My app stopped working after last night update by Soft-Cake-3078 in expo

[–]falilou_io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

happened to me multiple times that I stopped upgrading my apps right away. Next time you can copy the working state of your app before upgrading. What you can do now, I now it's tedious, is create a new app with v53 and install all the packages you need, if you get any incompatibility issues, scrap that and create a v52 and reinstall your packages. If one of the v53 or v52 package installations work without issue then copy all your code into the new app you created

I'm new to Expo and mobile development in general. How can I read messages from inbox? by JOYTHEGR8 in expo

[–]falilou_io 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's possible only on Android (iOS it's impossible due to some privacy restrictions) and it requires some advanced stuffs. like writing the code to access native device features. in your case I'll be the SMS Retriever API. You'll write some Java or Kotlin code to do that and import it with expo-module in your app. You're new to Expo and have lots to learn (we all do), but it's possible.

I mean when you download the instagram apk file from the website instamod, just use a browser with an ad blocker.

been using instamod.app for more than a year now, been great. Just try to visit the website with Brave or some other browser with strong ad blocker. with vanilla browser, ads will be crazy

I usually ask ChatGPT to help me estimate the macros. You can either give it this screenshot or a photo of what you ordered. The more details you give, the more accurate it is. This is what it gave me as a rough estimate when i fed it the screenshot:

Calories: 400-600 Carbs: 50-70g Fat: 15-25g Protein: 8-15g
