Using the Atlas App Services UI:

1. Log on to Atlas App Services and click the “Create App From Template” button.
2. Choose “Real Time Sync” and follow the prompts.
3. While the backend app is being created, you can download the pre-configured React Native template app for your new app.

Cloning from GitHub:

1. If you have cloned the repository from GitHub, create a separate App Services App with Device Sync enabled.
2. Replace the value in the client’s appId field with your App Services App ID.
3. For help finding this ID, refer to the “Find Your Project or App ID” guide.

Download the Client as a Zip File:

1. If you have downloaded the client as a .zip file from the Atlas App Services UI, it does not contain the App Services App ID.
2. Replace the value in the client’s appId field in atlasConfig.json with your App Services App ID.
3. For help finding this ID, refer to the “Find Your Project or App ID” guide.

To run the application:

1. Make sure you are in the directory.
2. Run npm install.
3. Run npx pod-install if on Mac.
4. Run npm run ios (or npm run android if you have an emulator running).
5. Note: If you have not set up your development environment for running react-native android apps, see the React Native environment setup guide.
