Welcome to the exciting world of mobile wallets with Coingrig! Designed as a next-generation digital wallet, it allows you to manage everything from cryptocurrency to banking and stocks, simplifying your financial life. Although this project is no longer maintained, you can still use it as a great starting point for your own projects. In this blog, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the installation process and usage of the Coingrig Mobile Wallet.

Getting Started: Installation

Before you dive into building the Coingrig Wallet, you need to set up your local environment. Let’s break it down into two components: iOS and Android.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: First, install Node.js. If you’re using nvm, simply run `nvm use` to select the appropriate Node version automatically.
• React Native Dependencies: You’ll need to install the shared React Native dependencies using the React Native CLI (not Expo CLI).
• CocoaPods for iOS: Run the following command to install CocoaPods:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Building for iOS

• Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/coingrig/coingrig-wallet
cd coingrig-wallet
yarn # this will install all dependencies
cd ios
pod install
cd .. # install pods for iOS

Building for Android

• Install the Android SDK via Android Studio.
• Set up the correct emulator following instructions from the React Native Getting Started – Android site.
• Finally, start the emulator from Android Studio, and run:

npx react-native run-android

Building for iOS

• Follow the installation for iOS dependencies found at React Native Getting Started – iOS.
• Run the iOS simulator:

npx react-native run-ios

Understanding the Installation Process: An Analogy

Think of building the Coingrig Mobile Wallet like preparing a feast for your guests. You first need to gather your ingredients (Node.js, React Native dependencies, CocoaPods) before you start cooking (building the app). For iOS, your ingredients are set a bit differently from Android, just as different dishes require different components. Each step you take to install various dependencies is analogous to ensuring you have all the right spices and utensils to create a delightful meal. Missing an ingredient can lead to a disaster, so make sure you have everything before you begin!

Troubleshooting Tips

While things should run smoothly, sometimes you might encounter hurdles. Here are a few troubleshooting ideas:

• If you’re having trouble with node versions, ensure you’re using the right one with `nvm`.
• Check your internet connection; dependencies require a stable connection to download.
• For any CocoaPods errors, try rerunning `pod install` to see if that resolves the issue.
• If you’re facing emulator issues, ensure you followed all instructions related to your specific OS and emulator settings.
