Follow these steps to get Fortura up and running on your local machine for development.

• Node.js installed (latest LTS recommended)
• React Native CLI installed globally (npm install -g react-native-cli)
• Android Studio (for Android Emulator/Device setup) or Xcode (for iOS Simulator/Device setup on macOS)
• A Firebase project with Phone Authentication enabled and configured for your app (add your google-services.json for Android or GoogleService-Info.plist for iOS).
• A Google Cloud Project with access to the Gemini API (configure your API key in the app).

1. Clone a specific branch of the repository:

   git clone --single-branch --branch RNCfortura [https://github.com/pratyush090506/fortura_ver1.git](https://github.com/pratyush090506/fortura_ver1.git) Newfortura
   cd Newfortura

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Set up Firebase:

   • Add your google-services.json file to the android/app directory.
   • Add your GoogleService-Info.plist file to the ios/<YourAppName> directory and ensure it's added to your Xcode project.

4. Configure Gemini API:

   • Add your Gemini API key to the appropriate place in the code (e.g., a .env file or a config constant, make sure not to commit keys directly).

5. Start Metro bundler:

   npx react-native start

   Keep this terminal running.

6. Run the app on an emulator or device:

   • For Android:

     npx react-native run-android

     Ensure that an emulator is running, or a device is connected with USB debugging enabled.
   • For iOS (Mac only):

     npx react-native run-ios

     Ensure Xcode is installed and configured, and you have installed CocoaPods if needed (cd ios && pod install).

• If the app does not start or you encounter environment issues, run the React Native doctor:

  npx react-native doctor

• If there are dependency issues or caching problems, try cleaning the cache and rebuilding:

  npm start -- --reset-cache
  # Then re-run the platform-specific command (npx react-native run-android or npx react-native run-ios)

• Ensure your Firebase project is correctly set up for the specific platform (SHA-1 fingerprints for Android, Bundle Identifier for iOS).
