Introduction

Welcome to my app, developed using React Native! This is a cross-platform mobile application that can be run on both iOS and Android devices. The app provides users with a seamless and convenient way to connect to 42's intra and manage their account information.

With my app, users can securely authenticate with their 42 intra credentials using OAuth2.0 protocol, and access their personal information, such as their profile picture, campus location, and academic progress.

I've implemented several features to enhance the user experience, including a bottom navigation bar for easy navigation between different sections of the app, a loading spinner to indicate when data is being fetched from the API, and form validation using React Hook Form and Yup to ensure that user input is accurate and complete.

My app also leverages the power of the Expo framework, which allows for easy deployment of the app to both iOS and Android devices. To get started, simply follow the instructions provided in the "How To Use" section to clone and run the app on your local machine.

I hope you enjoy using my app and find it to be a useful tool for managing your 42 intra account!
