Let's Build a React Native App: Camera

This episode creates the meat and potatoes of the app...a Camera Screen!

So you can actually take pictures of yourself! Or things! Or of nothing! But it lets you use your phone's camera, and that's really exciting!

This got a little tricky at the end. I got the camera working, but saving a photo and persisting it to disk well..that's a whole nother story.

That story is coming. Stay tuned for it!

I'm building a React Native application and I'm taking you along for the ride!

I'll be vlogging my experience of creating a brand new React Native app with Expo.

hi, are you planning to finish the work on this thing ? tbh reason i am watching this series is because of the Typescript integration in RN and if you'd dropped the ball on this one then an update to us all is in place. Thanks
