Question 1

How do I run the Swish app on an Android emulator since it's coming soon?

Accepted Answer

The README provides commands like 'npm run start:android', but note that the Android version is still in development, so you might need to troubleshoot or contribute to get it working fully. Check the GitHub issues for updates and community support.

Question 2

What API does Swish use for NBA data, and is it free?

Accepted Answer

Swish uses nba.js, a third-party Node.js library for NBA stats, which is customized for React Native. However, this API might have rate limits or stability issues, so verify its terms before production use.

Question 3

How can I customize Swish to add data from other sports leagues?

Accepted Answer

You would need to modify the data fetching logic in the Redux actions and replace nba.js with another API, which requires significant code changes due to the app's tight integration with NBA-specific endpoints.

Question 4

Is Swish better than the official NBA app for learning React Native?

Accepted Answer

Swish is better for developers wanting to study a real-world React Native codebase with Redux, but the official NBA app is more feature-complete. Swish excels as an educational tool for sports app development.

Question 5

Why does the setup require npm link, and what if it fails?

Accepted Answer

npm link is used to connect dependencies, but it can cause issues in React Native projects. If it fails, try manual linking or check the GitHub issues for community solutions and alternative setup steps.

Question 6

Can I contribute to Swish to help finish the coming soon features?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the project encourages contributions via GitHub issues. Focus on areas like video integration or player comparison, but be aware that the codebase might need updates for newer React Native versions.
