Question 1

What do I get exactly?

Accepted Answer

1/ Complete React Native Project - Production-ready starter built on Expo SDK 55 and 100% TypeScript. Includes 25+ UI components, 15+ pre-built screens, Zustand stores, and localization support. 2/ Full Authentication System - Convex-first auth with Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, Magic Link, Email/Password, and Anonymous Authentication. 3/ Monetization Ready - RevenueCat integration with subscriptions, paywall UI, and credit system. 4/ Server-side AI integrations across Convex and Expo API Routes for image generation, video generation, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, image analysis, and AI chat. 5/ PostHog analytics and Sentry error tracking. 6/ Step-by-step documentation and tutorials.

Question 2

How long does it take to set up?

Accepted Answer

About 30 minutes to get fully configured and running. The interactive setup CLI guides you through configuring your app name, bundle ID, brand colors, feature toggles, authentication methods, and theme preferences. With AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code you could scaffold something similar in a week, but you'd still spend 1-2 more weeks debugging auth edge cases, paywall restore flows, and AI rate limiting. Ship React Native is the end state of that journey — already battle-tested in 8+ shipped apps.

Question 3

Can I vibe code with Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes! The Ship React Native project structure is intentionally prepared to vibe code with Cursor, leveraging the power of AI for rapid development. The 100% TypeScript codebase with generated types makes AI-assisted coding incredibly smooth.

Question 4

React Native or Flutter?

Accepted Answer

The project is built with Expo SDK 55, TypeScript, and React 19 for both iOS and Android, following the New Architecture path.

Question 5

What are the 100 ASO-Validated App Ideas in the $149 plan?

Accepted Answer

The Ship React Native + Community plan ($149) includes 100+ App Store Optimization (ASO) validated app ideas. Each idea is backed by real App Store data: keyword research with actual search volumes, competition analysis per niche (low/medium/high), ready-to-use Cursor build prompts you can paste directly into your IDE, and a recommended monetization strategy (ads, subscriptions, or credit system). This is not random brainstorming — every idea has been validated against real keyword data and the 2026 monetization playbook with pricing benchmarks from 115K+ apps.

Question 6

What kind of apps can I build with this?

Accepted Answer

Ship React Native is perfect for AI Art Apps, AI Avatar Apps, Voice Apps, AI Assistants, Content Creation tools, and Productivity Apps. Pre-configured templates let you quickly enable just the features you need.

Question 7

Is a landing page included?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Ship React Native includes a free Next.js landing page boilerplate so you can promote your app right away. The landing page template includes modern design, animations, responsive layout, and is ready to deploy on Vercel or Netlify.

Question 8

What AI services are integrated?

Accepted Answer

Ship React Native includes production-ready server-side integrations for 6 AI capabilities: Image Generation, Video Generation, Text-to-Speech, Speech-to-Text, Image Analysis, and AI Chat. The boilerplate supports Convex as the recommended full backend and Expo API Routes as the lighter server-side alternative.

Question 9

What platforms does it support?

Accepted Answer

Ship React Native supports both iOS 16+ (iOS 26 ready) and Android 7+ out of the box. Built with Expo SDK 55 for easy development with Expo Go, Dev Client for custom native modules, EAS Build for cloud builds, and EAS Submit for store submission.

Question 10

Do you provide support?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All customers get email support. The Full package includes 1 year access to the private Discord community ($99/year value) where you can get priority support, share your journey with other React Native developers, discuss technical topics, and access exclusive tutorials.

Question 11

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

After you've got access to the GitHub repositories, Ship React Native is yours forever, so it can't be refunded. The template includes comprehensive documentation with setup guides, backend configuration, feature docs, and API references.

Question 12

I am a noob in React Native development, can I use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you have basic notions of programming and JavaScript. The included documentation and tutorials will guide you step by step through everything: setting up your development environment, configuring the backend mode, wiring AI services, and submitting to the App Store. If you come from web development (React, Next.js, etc.), this is a strong starting point for your mobile journey.

Question 13

How often is Ship React Native updated?

Accepted Answer

Regularly updated with new components and features. Currently on Expo SDK 55 and React 19 with the New Architecture path. All updates are included for lifetime.

Question 14

What dependencies are included?

Accepted Answer

The boilerplate includes a curated package set for a production-ready mobile app. Core: Expo SDK 55, React 19, and TypeScript. Navigation: Expo Router with deep linking and type-safe routes. State: Zustand with AsyncStorage persistence. Backend: Convex as the recommended full backend, with Expo API Routes supported as the lighter server-side alternative. RevenueCat for in-app purchases. UI, media, analytics, and error tracking are already wired in.
