<p>It's always a good idea to test your app on an actual device before releasing it to your users. This document will guide you through the necessary steps to run your React Native app on a device and to get it ready for production.</p>
<p>If you used Create React Native App to set up your project, you can preview your app on a device by scanning the QR code with the Expo app. In order to build and run your app on a device, you will need to eject and install the native code dependencies from the <a href="/react-native/docs/getting-started.html">Getting Started guide</a>.</p>

<p>If this is your first time running an app on your iOS device, you may need to register your device for development. Open the <strong>Product</strong> menu from Xcode's menubar, then go to <strong>Destination</strong>. Look for and select your device from the list. Xcode will then register your device for development.</p>

Plug in your device via USB</h3>
<p>Let's now set up an Android device to run our React Native projects. Go ahead and plug in your device via USB to your development machine.</p>
<p><block class="linux android" /></p>
<p>Next, check the manufacturer code by using <code>lsusb</code> (on mac, you must first <a href="https://github.com/jlhonora/lsusb">install lsusb</a>). <code>lsusb</code> should output something like this:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css bash">$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 22b8:2e76 Motorola PCS
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
</code></pre>
<p>These lines represent the USB devices currently connected to your machine.</p>
<p>You want the line that represents your phone. If you're in doubt, try unplugging your phone and running the command again:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css bash">$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
</code></pre>
<p>You'll see that after removing the phone, the line which has the phone model (&quot;Motorola PCS&quot; in this case) disappeared from the list. This is the line that we care about.</p>
<p><code>Bus 001 Device 003: ID 22b8:2e76 Motorola PCS</code></p>
<p>From the above line, you want to grab the first four digits from the device ID:</p>
<p><code>22b8:2e76</code></p>
<p>In this case, it's <code>22b8</code>. That's the identifier for Motorola.</p>
<p>You'll need to input this into your udev rules in order to get up and running:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css sh"><span class="hljs-built_in">echo</span> SUBSYSTEM==<span class="hljs-string">"usb"</span>, ATTR{idVendor}==<span class="hljs-string">"22b8"</span>, MODE=<span class="hljs-string">"0666"</span>, GROUP=<span class="hljs-string">"plugdev"</span> | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android-usb.rules
</code></pre>
<p>Make sure that you replace <code>22b8</code> with the identifier you get in the above command.</p>
<p><block class="mac windows linux android" /></p>
<p>Now check that your device is properly connecting to ADB, the Android Debug Bridge, by running <code>adb devices</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="hljs">$ adb devices
<span class="hljs-built_in">List</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">of</span> devices attached

<span class="hljs-number">14</span>ed2fcc device <span class="hljs-comment"># Physical device</span>
</code></pre>
<p>Seeing <code>device</code> in the right column means the device is connected. You must have <strong>only one device connected</strong> at a time.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>If you have any issues, ensure that your Mac and device are on the same network and can reach each other. Many open wireless networks with captive portals are configured to prevent devices from reaching other devices on the network. You may use your device's Personal Hotspot feature in this case.</p>

Network/router configuration</h4>
<p>React Native uses the wildcard DNS service <strong>xip.io</strong> to address your device. Some routers have security features to prevent DNS Servers to resolve anything in the local IP range.</p>
<p>Now check if you are able to resolve the xip.io address, by running <code>nslookup</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css bash">$ nslookup 10.0.1.123.xip.io
</code></pre>
<p>If it doesn't resolve your local IP address either the <strong>xip.io</strong> service is down or more likely your router prevents it.</p>
<p>To still use xip.io behind your router:</p>
<ul>
<li>configure your phone to use Google DNS (8.8.8.8)</li>
<li>disable the appropriate security feature in your router</li>
</ul>

<p>You can also connect to the development server over Wi-Fi. You'll first need to install the app on your device using a USB cable, but once that has been done you can debug wirelessly by following these instructions. You'll need your development machine's current IP address before proceeding.</p>
<p><block class="mac android" /></p>
<p>You can find the IP address in <strong>System Preferences</strong><strong>Network</strong>.</p>
<p><block class="windows android" /></p>
<p>Open the command prompt and type <code>ipconfig</code> to find your machine's IP address (<a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-command-line-tools-networking-information">more info</a>).</p>
<p><block class="linux android" /></p>
<p>Open a terminal and type <code>/sbin/ifconfig</code> to find your machine's IP address.</p>
<p><block class="mac windows linux android" /></p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure your laptop and your phone are on the <strong>same</strong> Wi-Fi network.</li>
<li>Open your React Native app on your device.</li>
<li>You'll see a <a href="/react-native/docs/debugging.html#in-app-errors-and-warnings">red screen with an error</a>. This is OK. The following steps will fix that.</li>

Enable App Transport Security</h3>
<p>App Transport Security is a security feature introduced in iOS 9 that rejects all HTTP requests that are not sent over HTTPS. This can result in HTTP traffic being blocked, including the developer React Native server. ATS is disabled for <code>localhost</code> by default in React Native projects in order to make development easier.</p>
<p>You should re-enable ATS prior to building your app for production by removing the <code>localhost</code> entry from the <code>NSExceptionDomains</code> dictionary in your <code>Info.plist</code> file in the <code>ios/</code> folder. You can also re-enable ATS from within Xcode by opening your target properties under the Info pane and editing the App Transport Security Settings entry.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If your application needs to access HTTP resources on production, see <a href="http://ste.vn/2015/06/10/configuring-app-transport-security-ios-9-osx-10-11/">this post</a> to learn how to configure ATS on your project.</p>

Configure release scheme</h3>
<p>Building an app for distribution in the App Store requires using the <code>Release</code> scheme in Xcode. Apps built for <code>Release</code> will automatically disable the in-app Developer menu, which will prevent your users from inadvertently accessing the menu in production. It will also bundle the JavaScript locally, so you can put the app on a device and test whilst not connected to the computer.</p>
<p>To configure your app to be built using the <code>Release</code> scheme, go to <strong>Product</strong><strong>Scheme</strong><strong>Edit Scheme</strong>. Select the <strong>Run</strong> tab in the sidebar, then set the Build Configuration dropdown to <code>Release</code>.</p>

Build app for release</h3>
<p>You can now build your app for release by tapping <code>⌘B</code> or selecting <strong>Product</strong><strong>Build</strong> from the menu bar. Once built for release, you'll be able to distribute the app to beta testers and submit the app to the App Store.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can also use the <code>React Native CLI</code> to perform this operation using the option <code>--configuration</code> with the value <code>Release</code> (e.g. <code>react-native run-ios --configuration Release</code>).</p>
