Hi,

Happy to help here. Have you seen this guide as well? I’ve followed this one recently and it works.

I’ll take a look at the doc you linked and make sure nothing’s out of date.

yes it was my mistake, I messed up my installation because It’s my first time using expo

with expo you don’t have to follow a bunch of react native steps.

although this guide is actually outdated or has a mistake in the “make a purchase” section
