📋 Next Steps:
1. Run: npm install (to clean up dependencies)
2. Run: npx expo prebuild (to generate native code)
3. Run: eas init (to initialize EAS project)
4. Configure your environment variables
5. Set up your authentication providers
 
💳 Stripe Integration Removed:
• All Stripe-related files and configurations have been removed
• You can always add Stripe back later if needed
 
💰 Superwall Integration Removed:

• You can always add Superwall back later if needed

🔧 What the Script Does

The script automatically:

  • Cleans previous configuration and cache (removes .expo folder)
  • Updates your app name, slug, and bundle identifier throughout the project
  • Configures Stripe integration (asks if you want to use it)
    • If No: Removes all Stripe files, dependencies, and configurations
    • If Yes: Keeps Stripe integration for payments
  • Configures Superwall integration (asks if you want to use it)
    • If No: Removes Superwall from layout and cleans up
    • If Yes: Keeps Superwall integration for dynamic paywalls
  • Configures RevenueCat integration (asks if you want to use it)
    • If No: Removes RevenueCat from layout and cleans up
    • If Yes: Keeps RevenueCat integration for subscriptions
  • Updates supabase/config.toml with your bundle identifier
  • Prepares the project for EAS initialization

💡 Smart Integration Management

The script intelligently handles integrations:

  • Stripe removal: Deletes 10+ files including contexts, components, Edge Functions, and assets
  • Superwall removal: Cleans layout wrappers, removes provider and configurations
  • RevenueCat removal: Cleans layout wrappers and configurations
  • Dependency cleanup: Automatically uninstalls unused packages
  • Configuration updates: Updates all relevant config files

This ensures your app only includes what you actually need, reducing bundle size and complexity.

🏗️ After Initialization

Run these commands in order:

# Install dependencies (clean up after removals)
npm install
 
# Generate native code
npx expo prebuild
 
# Initialize EAS
eas init
