npm modules

npm install or yarn

Pods

cd ios && pod install

Usage

react-native run-ios or react-native run-android

Debugging

iOS

• iOS simulator has inbuilt dynamic location tracking debugging mode
• Go to Debug > Location > Freeway Drive

Android

• Android emulators doesn't have any in built feature to test the dynamic location changes
• You can use 3rd party apps to mock gps location apps. GPS Joystick was working fine for me

Troubleshooting

App is giving error

• If this repo is not working for you, I would suggest that you create your own react-native project
• Install react-native-maps using their installation guide
• Replace its App.js with this project's App.js

Blank Map

• Create new Google Maps API keys
• Go to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/get-api-key and https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/signup to get your keys for both iOS and Android.
• Replace them at their respective places

App crashes as soon as it launches in Android

• Try giving it the location permission manually to the app by going to the device setting
