There are several ways to preview the React Native app I've created:
This is the easiest way to preview the app on your actual phone:

npm install @react-navigation/native @react-navigation/native-stack react-native-safe-area-context react-native-screens @supabase/supabase-js react-native-url-polyfill @react-native-async-storage/async-storage react-native-paper expo-image-picker base64-arraybuffer react-native-gesture-handlerStart the development server:
npx expo startIf you prefer testing on your computer:
