Question 1

How do I run the ASOS clone on Android if it's mostly tested on iOS?

Accepted Answer

The README states it's platform-agnostic, so use Expo to run it on Android by scanning the QR code with the Expo client app. However, expect potential styling issues since development focused on iOS.

Question 2

Is the ASOS clone better than React Native e-commerce starters like Ignite Bowser?

Accepted Answer

For pure UI study, it's useful, but for production, starters like Ignite Bowser are better as they are maintained, include backend integration, and follow best practices. This project is a reference clone, not a full template.

Question 3

How can I add a shopping cart to this ASOS app?

Accepted Answer

Fork the project and implement it yourself, as the basket feature is incomplete. You'll need to add state management, likely using Context or Redux, since the store folder is currently unused.

Question 4

What's the easiest way to modify the home screen layout?

Accepted Answer

Edit 'Homepage.js' directly; the app will reload automatically via Expo's hot reloading, as mentioned in the Getting Started section. This makes iterative UI changes straightforward.

Question 5

Can I use this ASOS app for a commercial project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's MIT-licensed, so you can modify and use it commercially. However, you must implement missing features, fix code issues, and ensure you don't infringe on ASOS's trademarks.

Question 6

How outdated is the React Native version in this project?

Accepted Answer

It uses React Native 31.0.0 from Expo SDK 31, released in 2018, which is severely outdated and may not support newer APIs or security updates, requiring upgrades for modern development.
