Initial setup clarification

[berrymat]

Apologies, but I am a total beginner and had some issues getting set up. I started by creating a new React Native project using:

react-native init TestProject

This created the initial TestProject folder with sub-folders for ios and android. I went ahead and did:

cd TestProject
npm install --save react-native-sqlite-storage

I then wanted to setup my iOS project with CocoaPods and so:

cd ios
pod init

I then wanted to add the entry for this pod to my PodFile, but the line in the ReadMe seems incorrect because the node_modules folder is in my parent directory. I needed to use:

pod 'react-native-sqlite-storage', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-sqlite-storage'

Then on doing pod install I received a deprecated warning about React 0.11. What was worse was that running react-native run-ios failed with duplicate package issues. Indeed, from what I could see I had a React folder under react-native in my node_modules folder and another one under the Pods folder in ios.

After looking through the issues here I found this #84 which gave me a hint!

I started over and this time after npm installing react-native-sqlite-storage I edited the podspec file and removed:

  s.dependency 'React'

I then added both these lines to my PodFile:

  pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native'
  pod 'react-native-sqlite-storage', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-sqlite-storage'

As I know very little(!) I wanted to confirm that this is a correct approach and also wanted to put this information out there for others who might run into this.

I'm also happy to submit a pull request if that would help.

You are absolutely correct. The CocoaPods based set-up instructions were incorrect. I have corrected them and tested based on your input. Will include in the next 3.2.2 release.

Thanks.

@berrymat - let me know how you make out with 3.2.2 with regards to Pods...

Yes it is working well. Thanks!
