Example of an Exported Project and Generated iOS/Android Code

Monday Hero exports an Xcode/Android Project with colors, fonts, assets, string, and layout files. Please note that there are no duplicate values in colors, fonts, and string files.

The results of the downloaded project are different for Android and iOS Projects.

iOS

Project Structure

Monday Hero downloads the project as iOS-Example.

Assets And the last but not least, the assets. They are all ready to use and automatically sized in the res folder.

As can be seen above, the project is ready to run. After these steps, the development takes place out of Monday Hero. With already exported project UI as an Xcode project or Android Studio project, and it is ready to work in a development environment. Now it is time to work on the backend services and configurations as planned. Happy coding!
