Hey there, crypto enthusiasts and blockchain developers! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Solana ecosystem, you’re in for a treat. Mike S, a prominent developer on X, recently dropped some exciting news about a new update to create-solana-dapp, a tool that’s making waves in the world of decentralized app (dApp) development. This update now supports building Solana Mobile apps, and it’s packed with features to simplify your workflow. Let’s dive into what this means and how you can jump on board!
What’s New with create-solana-dapp?
The latest version of create-solana-dapp brings a game-changing addition: support for Solana Mobile apps. This means you can now create mobile dApps using a familiar setup process, all powered by Solana’s high-speed blockchain. The tool leverages React Native via Expo, a popular framework that makes mobile development a breeze, even if you’re new to it. Plus, it includes the Mobile Wallet Adapter, which lets your app connect seamlessly with Solana wallets.
Here’s what you get with this update:
- React Native Support: Build cross-platform apps for iOS and Android with ease.
 - Mobile Wallet Adapter: Integrate wallet connectivity without the headache.
 - Pre-built Components: Navigation, UI elements, and more are ready to use out of the box.
 
How to Get Started
Getting started is as simple as running a single command. Open your terminal and type:
bash
npm create solana-dapp@latest
Follow the prompts, enter your project name (like “awesome-mobile-dapp” as shown in the image), and select the Solana Mobile template. This template is based on Expo, so you’ll be set up with a solid foundation to build upon. The image shared by Mike S shows the setup process, highlighting the option to choose the Solana Mobile template—pretty cool, right?
Once your project is created, you can start customizing it. The pre-built components and navigation tools mean you can focus on the fun stuff, like adding unique features to your dApp, rather than wrestling with boilerplate code.
