Love Birds is a fun and interactive way to bring long-distance relationships together.
This application was the result of the final project phase for the Northcoders FullStack Bootcamp. The project is a React Native app written in TypeScript, with Tailwind as a styling tool and Google Firebase The purpose of the app is to establish an online relationship with your partner (or friend) and be able to send messages and pictures to them in the form of eggs. To view those messages, your connection should play some fun games to ‘hatch’ those eggs.

Expo: v48.0.18
Tailwindcss: v.3.3.2
Firebase v9.22.2.
Also, it is important to check the package.json file, and see whether you have other dependencies installed.
As we are using React Native Expo to run the app locally, we can use Expo Go in Android (already provided in iOS) or run a emulation on your PC.
npx expo start
or
npx expo start --tunnel
After doing that, in your console a similar message should display:
Starting Metro Bundler
Tunnel connected.
Tunnel ready.
