Target UI

---------------------------------
| iOS Build Setup               |
|------------------------------|
| 1. Create Apple Developer ID |
| 2. Generate Certificates     |
| 3. Create Provisioning Profile|
| 4. Configure Xcode Project   |
| 5. Build and Archive         |
|                              |
| [Start Setup]                |
---------------------------------

Show a list of steps to prepare iOS build and certificates

Include a button labeled 'Start Setup' that does nothing for now

Use simple text and layout for clarity

Starter Code

React Native

import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function IOSBuildSetup() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      {/* TODO: Add steps list here */}
      {/* TODO: Add Start Setup button here */}
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    padding: 20,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#fff'
  }
});

Solution

React Native

import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function IOSBuildSetup() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.title}>iOS Build Setup</Text>
      <Text style={styles.step}>1. Create Apple Developer ID</Text>
      <Text style={styles.step}>2. Generate Certificates</Text>
      <Text style={styles.step}>3. Create Provisioning Profile</Text>
      <Text style={styles.step}>4. Configure Xcode Project</Text>
      <Text style={styles.step}>5. Build and Archive</Text>
      <View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
        <Button title="Start Setup" onPress={() => {}} accessibilityLabel="Start iOS build setup" />
      </View>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    padding: 20,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#fff'
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 24,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    marginBottom: 20,
    textAlign: 'center'
  },
  step: {
    fontSize: 18,
    marginVertical: 6
  },
  buttonContainer: {
    marginTop: 30,
    alignSelf: 'center',
    width: '50%'
  }
});

This React Native component shows a simple screen listing the key steps to prepare an iOS build with certificates. We use Text components for each step and a Button labeled 'Start Setup' that currently does nothing when pressed. The styles center the content and add spacing for readability. Accessibility label is added to the button for screen readers.
