Hi Matt,
Thank you for the wonderful article, I have been trying to follow this for days but most of the stuff here has changed. I have been using JHipster 7.9.3.
Everything worked great on the API side but I have been having hard time using ignite.
Looks like ignite was replaced by generator-jhipster-react-native, so I used the command jhipster --blueprints react-native. I used both options by specifying API locatgion and also by using jdl, it doesn’t look like it is generating the two Auth files you mentioned in your article. I ran into the error “Error fetching auth info from backend” when using Expo web option. I don’t understand the role that Expo plays here, I created expo profile, created an app and initialized it after generating react-native app, still ran into the same issue on the web, also I tried using android App where I ran into “Error: The system cannot find the path specified”.
I am data engineer so my app development skills are not that great, I think I ran into a deadend, could you please update this article?
