React Native Spotify Remote Example Project

This project was bootstrapped using the following command:

react-native init MyAwesomeProject --template typescript

Which came from https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2018/05/07/using-typescript-with-react-native.

Getting Started

0: Install Dependencies & Build Library

  1. Run yarn install in this directory.

  2. Install Pods by running: cd ios && pod install && cd ..

  3. Run yarn install && yarn build in the root directory (../) to generate the library's dist folder.

1: ENV File

I've also added react-native-dotenv for easier configuration. In order to configure this app you'll need to create a .env file in this root directory with the following:

SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID="client_id_from_spotify_dashboard"
SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URL="redirect_uri_registered_in_spotify_dashboard"
SPOTIFY_TOKEN_REFRESH_URL="http://{MACHINE_IP_ADDRESS}:3000/refresh"
SPOTIFY_TOKEN_SWAP_URL="http://{MACHINE_IP_ADDRESS}:3000/swap"

NOTE: If the changes to the environment variables aren't showing up in the app try and run yarn start --reset-cache to reset the packager cache

Note 1: The last two entries define the auth server endpoints. You can run the example auth server for this purpose.

Note 2: The SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI needs to be both registered with your app on the Spotify Dashboard and also needs to be supported by your app. Instructions for doing this can be found on the Spotify iOS Quickstart in the ► Configure Info.plist section

2. Run Server

You will need to have the Example Server running before your app starts up.

3: Start XCode Build

Open up the project.pbxproj in XCode and build it for your phone (note you will need to have Spotify installed on your phone).

This should also start the react native packager as part of the build process if it isn't already running
