Practical overview
When it fits
Use Ecency Mobile when you want a phone-based social-blogging client for Hive, or when you are assessing its documented mobile integrations and open-source implementation.
Who it is for
- Hive users who want a mobile interface for social blogging and contributing content.
- Developers exploring or adapting an open-source React Native client for Hive.
- App and web developers integrating credential, authentication, registration, or transfer handoffs with Ecency.
Documented uses
- Use Hive through a mobile social-blogging application.
- Contribute content in an experience described as offering rewards.
- Hand supported credential, authentication, registration, and transfer requests from a third-party app or mobile website to Ecency.
- Set up the React Native project for iOS or Android development.
Requirements & limits
The README says stable releases are distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play, and lists an Android beta channel. For local development it specifies Node.js 18 or later, Yarn, and platform tooling.
- The app is a mobile client for Hive, not a blockchain infrastructure service.
- The repository is MIT-licensed and uses TypeScript with React Native.
- Most data fetching uses @ecency/sdk, with some legacy dhive usage remaining during migration.
- The README documents deep-link handoffs for login, authentication, signup, and transfers; some flows require user confirmation or valid credentials.
- The documented Android development setup includes Firebase configuration; iOS development requires Xcode.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Ecency Mobile development project
Install project dependencies and start the React Native Metro bundler.
Before you start
- Node.js 18 or later
- Yarn
- A local Git installation to clone the repository
Steps
Clone the vision-mobile repository and change into its directory.
Run yarn to install dependencies.
Run yarn start to start Metro.
Expected outcome
The project dependencies are installed and Metro is running; the README documents platform-specific run steps separately.
Guide limitations
- This guide does not build or launch the iOS or Android app.
- The documented Android run path additionally requires Android SDK tooling, a Firebase project, and google-services.json; the iOS path requires Xcode.
