Windows Example

React Native Windows demo app for react-native-view-shot.

Prerequisites

• Node 20+
• Visual Studio 2022 with the Universal Windows Platform development and Native desktop with C++ workloads
• Windows 11 SDK 10.0.22621
• .NET 8 SDK on PATH

Run

cd example-windows
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npx react-native autolink-windows
npx react-native run-windows --arch x64

run-windows builds, deploys, and launches the app in one shot. Pass --no-launch --no-deploy --no-packager to only build.

What's covered

The home screen lists every test screen mirrored from example/ (BasicTest, FullScreen, Transparency, ScrollView, Image, FS, Modal, Rendering, StyleFilters). Video / WebView / SVG screens are skipped because the underlying RN modules don't have Windows native support.

snapshotContentContainer is documented as not supported on Windows — see the lib's README.md. The flag is ignored and a console.warn fires.
