Deploy to `gh-pages` from a `dist` folder on the master branch. Useful for use with [yeoman](http://yeoman.io).

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

Upload iOS application for clients on their iTunes Connect account.

Obviously, the simplest solution would be for the client to share their account details or add us as ‘team admin’, but that is not what this is about.

  1. [Add us to your iOS Developer Program as ‘team member’.][1]
  2. [Create a ‘Distribution Certificate’, if you haven’t got one already.][2]
  3. [Create a ‘App Store Distribution Provisioning Profile’.][3]
  4. [Export the ‘Distribution Certificate’ assets and send the export and password to us.][4] (For security sake, it’s a good idea to send us the password via other means than the exported certificate. E.g. by phone/SMS.)

Converting between Image and Base64 string in iOS

EDIT : In iOS7, you can use NSData's base64EncodedStringWithOptions

Now encode as:

- (NSString *)encodeToBase64String:(UIImage *)image {
 return [UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64EncodingEndLineWithCarriageReturn];
}

Decode as:

var mediaJSON = { "categories" : [ { "name" : "Movies",
"videos" : [

Folder Structure

Please note

While this gist has been shared and followed for years, I regret not giving more background. It was originally a gist for the engineering org I was in, not a "general suggestion" for any React app.

Typically I avoid folders altogether. Heck, I even avoid new files. If I can build an app with one 2000 line file I will. New files and folders are a pain.

Test React Native on the simulator and on a device without editing the code each time!

In the default React Native app scaffolding you have to edit AppDelegate.m to change where it loads the code if you want to test on your device. I use the following snippet to detect if it's being compiled for Debug or Production and for the Simulator or a device. For Production it uses a copy of the code included in the bundle, for Debug on the simualtor it loads from a server on localhost and for Debug on a device it loads from a server on a given IP address.

NOTE: You need to edit YOUR-IP-HERE and change it to the IP to load the code from when in Debug mode on a device. You could use a service like ngrok to make this work from anywhere.

  NSURL *jsCodeLocation;

  // Loading JavaScript code
  #if DEBUG
    // For Debug build load from development server. Start the server from the repository root:
