Airpix is a cross-platform mobile application built with React Native that allows users to easily share images between devices on a local network. It uses a TCP socket connection for direct image transfer, providing a fast and efficient way to share photos without relying on external services or the internet.

• Local Network Sharing: Share images directly between devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Fast Transfer: Utilizes TCP sockets for quick and efficient image transmission.
• Simple Interface: Easy-to-use interface for selecting and sharing photos.
• Image Preview: View selected images in a modal before sharing.
• Cross-Platform: Works on both iOS and Android devices.

Airpix consists of two main roles:

1. Server: The server device selects images from its library and makes them available for transfer. It displays its local IP address, which the client device needs to connect.
2. Client: The client device enters the server's IP address to establish a connection. Once connected, the server automatically sends the chosen images to the client. The client can then save the received images to their device's gallery.

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/gonzaldd/airpix.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd airpix
3. Install dependencies: yarn or npm install

1. Server Device:

   • Open the app and select "Compartir Imagenes" (Share Images).
   • Choose the images you want to share from your library.
   • Note down the displayed IP address.

2. Client Device:

   • Open the app and select "Importar Imagenes" (Import Images).
   • The app will attempt to connect to the server running on your local machine. Ensure the server is running before attempting to connect. The current implementation connects to 'localhost'.
   • Once connected, the server-selected images will appear. Tap an image to save it to your gallery.

The project uses React Native along with the following key libraries:

• react-native-tcp-socket: Handles TCP socket communication.
• react-native-image-picker: Allows users to select images from their library.
• @react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll: Enables saving images to the device's gallery.
• @react-native-community/netinfo: Retrieves network information, including the device's IP address.
• @gluestack-ui: For UI components.
• nativewind: For styling.

• components/: Contains reusable UI components.
• src/hooks/: Custom hooks for managing TCP socket connections (client and server).
• src/views/: Contains the different screens of the app.

• Improved Connection Management: Implement more robust error handling and connection status indicators.
• Progress Bar: Display a progress bar to show the status of image transfers.
• Direct IP Connection: Allow users to specify the server IP address on the client side.
