Summary:
Initial conversion of RNTester to support light and dark themes. Theming is implemented by providing the desired color theme via context. Example:
```
const ThemedContainer = props => (
<RNTesterThemeContext.Consumer>
{theme => {
return (
<View
style={{
paddingHorizontal: 8,
paddingVertical: 16,
backgroundColor: theme.SystemBackgroundColor,
}}>
{props.children}
</View>
);
}}
</RNTesterThemeContext.Consumer>
);
```
As RNTester's design follows the base iOS system appearance, I've chosen light and dark themes based on the actual iOS 13 semantic colors. The themes are RNTester-specific, however, and we'd expect individual apps to build their own color palettes.
## Examples
The new Appearance Examples screen demonstrates how context can be used to force a theme. It also displays the list of colors in each RNTester theme.

https://pxl.cl/HmB3 (screenshot: Same screen, with light and dark RNTester themes visible)
Theming support in this diff mostly focused on the main screen and the Dark Mode examples screen. This required updating the components used by most of the examples, as you can see in this Image example:
https://pxl.cl/H0Hv (screenshot: Image Examples screen in Dark Mode theme)
Note that I have yet to go through every single example screen to update it. There's individual cases, such as the FlatList example screen, that are not fully converted to use a dark theme when appropriate. This can be taken care later as it's non-blocking.

RNTester
The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Both macOS and Xcode are required.
- Install CocoaPods. We installing CocoaPods using Homebrew:
brew install cocoapods - Run
cd RNTester; pod install - Open the generated
RNTesterPods.xcworkspace. This is not checked in, as it is generated by CocoaPods. Do not openRNTesterPods.xcodeprojdirectly.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the RNTester app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Running Detox Tests on iOS
Install Detox from here.
To run the e2e tests locally, run the following commands from the react-native folder:
yarn build-ios-e2e
yarn test-ios-e2e
These are the equivalent of running:
detox build -c ios.sim.release
detox test -c ios.sim.release --cleanup
These build the app in Release mode, so the production code is bundled and included in the built app.
When developing E2E tests, you may want to run in development mode, so that changes to the production code show up immediately. To do this, run:
detox build -c ios.sim.debug
detox test -c ios.sim.debug
You will also need to have Metro running in another terminal. Note that if you've previously run the E2E tests in release mode, you may need to delete the RNTester/build folder before rerunning detox build.
Building from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
