To run frontend

1. Install XCode at https://developer.apple.com/xcode/. XCode provides the ios simulator that we'll test the app through.
2. Sign up for an Expo account at https://expo.dev/signup/. Expo is the mobile development framework that lets us build and test our app. Message Ivan your email associated with your Expo account to be added to the My Atlas organization.
3. In any directory, run npm install -g eas-cli
4. In the frontend directory, run npm install
5. In the frontend directory, run expo start --ios This should start a development server, pull up your simulator, and install the Expo app onto it. Stop the development server in your terminal but keep the simulator open.
6. Download & unzip the .tar.gz file from the My Atlas organization
7. Drag and drop the build into your simulator.
8. Run npx expo start —-dev-client to start the development server
9. Open the Expo Go app in the simulator and go to your project. The my-atlas-frontend app should open and you should be able to edit code and hot reload.
