Develop a social media app using React Native that allows users to follow and share photos with friends.

Sure, I can give you a general outline of how to get started with this project. However, building a fully functional social media app would require a much more detailed scope and several advanced skills. Here's what I can tell you to begin with:

1. **Technology Stack:** For a social media app, you might want to use a technology stack like React Native, Firebase, GraphQL, and Apollo. Firebase can help you with user authentication, storage, cloud functions, and real-time database. GraphQL and Apollo can help you with API handling.

2. ** Setup React Native environment:** To get started with React Native, first, you need to have it set up on your machine. You can follow the official React Native documentation to get started.

3. ** Create a New Project:** Once that's set up, you can create a new project using the following command:

   ```bash
   react-native init SocialMediaApp
   ```

4. ** Set up Firebase Project:** Next, you'll need to create a new Firebase project, configure it in your app, add it to your firestore database, and authenticate with firebase (via email and password, Google, Facebook, etc.).

5. ** Design Wireframes: ** Designing wireframes will help define the functionality of each screen.

6. ** Implementing Authentication: ** Users will require authentication to use your application. Using Firebase Authentication, you can use email and password(sms) or oauth authentication.

7. ** UI Implementation: ** It's crucial for any social media app to be user-friendly, interactive, and visually attractive.

8. ** Social Media Integration:** Social media integration tools like Sharey, Which offers social sharing from React Native allow you to integrate social sharing within your app. You can use these APIs's for the integration.

9. **Apollo: ** Apollo helps synchronize the backend graphQL response in the form of structures that the front end can use. Apollo might be used for manipulating and displaying your data source.

10. **Deployment: ** After development, deployment gets your app to Android or IOS platform.

11. **Testing: ** Before declaring your program releases, its essential to test it on proper platforms(Android, iOS, Web, Windows, ..etc.).

12. **When available, submit your app to an app store. ** Wherever it's permitted to share and most used apps to see.

Always, don't forget to make and test code thoroughly before shipping it out for use or selling. Use helpful preventive measurement attempts to safeguard users and their information. Overall, I Recommend you start to concentrate and start vivid and poorly grasping the content of your posts, information flow, in-depth details on the database, how unique is the output, others components you might require. Periodically with architectural designs (like data streaming), you'll quickly finish or confront several uncommon details.

Please use these guidelines as a foundation to create your app. It's possible to carry your app's features significantly ahead than what we've defined. If you have any more exact, I'd like to provide any detailed knowledge.

To develop a social media app using React Native that allows users to follow and share photos with friends, you'll need to set up the development environment, create a new project, and implement various features. Here's an outline of the steps involved:

1. Set up the development environment:
   - Install Node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
   - Install React Native CLI by running `npm install -g react-native-cli`
   - Install Android Studio (https://developer.android.com/studio) or Xcode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) for target platform

2. Create a new React Native project:
   - Run `npx react-native init SocialMediaApp` to create a new project called "SocialMediaApp"
   - Change into the project directory: `cd SocialMediaApp`

3. Install required dependencies:
   - For state management: `npm install redux react-redux`
   - For navigation: `npm install @react-navigation/native @react-navigation/stack`
   - For handling images: `npm install react-native-image-picker`
   - For authentication: `npm install firebase`
   - For storing user data: `npm install react-native-async-storage`

4. Implement firebase configuration and authentication:
   - Sign up for a Firebase account (https://firebase.google.com/) and create a new project
   - Add Firebase to your app by following the instructions in the Firebase console
   - Configure Firebase in your app using the provided configuration object
   - Implement login and signup screens using Firebase Authentication

5. Implement navigation:
   - Set up a stack navigator for handling different screens in the app
   - Define routes for login, signup, home, profile, and other necessary screens

6. Create components for the main feed, profile, and photo sharing:
   - Main feed: Display posts from users being followed
   - Profile: Show user information, their posts, and options to edit profile details
   - Photo sharing: Allow users to select an image from their device or take a new photo, add a caption, and post it

7. Implement Redux for state management:
   - Create actions, reducers, and store to manage app state
   - Connect components to the Redux store using `connect()` from 'react-redux'

8. Add features like following/unfollowing users, liking/commenting on posts, and push notifications:
   - Implement firebase functions or cloud functions for handling backend logic
   - Store user relationships (following/followers) in Firestore database
   - Use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for sending push notifications

9. Test your app on physical devices and/or emulators:
   - Run `npx react-native run-android` or `npx react-native run-ios` to build and run the app on connected devices or emulators

10. Prepare your app for publication:
   - Update app icons, splash screens, and other assets
   - Generate signed APK or IPA files for release builds
   - Submit your app to Google Play Store or Apple App Store following their guidelines

This is a high-level overview of developing a social media app using React Native. You can further customize the UI and add more features as needed. Good luck with your project!
