!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must Read !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This tutorial has some parts of the video frozen and only my voice could be heard, it’s because my Mac’s memory was overwhelmed during the tutorial thus the screen recorder couldn’t get enough memory to capture the screen during those times, but you can get the complete app files on my GitHub repo, link below.
I’ve tried redoing the tutorial but the same issue repeated itself, so I may redo the tutorial again when I’ve figured out a solution to it, thanks for watching

Overview
In this tutorial we are going to be building a mobile app using React Native, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, React Hooks, React Navigation and TMDB API

We will use TMDB API to get list of latest movies and display them in the app
We will also use other API endpoints like search API and movie details API

We will use React Navigation for the navigation and also for the bottom tabs

We will also be implementing dark mode with @react-native-async-storage/async-storage and redux-toolkit

We will also be using Shopify's Flashlist which is just like Flatlist but with a better performance

We will also be using axios to make all the API requests within the app

Things you will gain from this tutorial:
Mobile app Networking
React Hooks
Redux
API testing with Postman
React App Optimization

What I couldn't talk about in the tutorial but I later fixed:
i. A bug that makes new search result to display old result with the new result
ii. Dark mode not implemented for the Details page header but I later fixed it by setting the navigation header in the useLayoutEffect in the details component: more details here:
