##### Q. How does debugging work? Can I set breakpoints in my JS?

Q. How do I create my own app?

replace the `TicTacToeApp.js` with your own. Then, in `AppDelegate.m`, update
`moduleName` to match your call to

that the React packager generates, save it to the file `main.jsbundle`, and add it
as a static resource in your Xcode project. Then set the `jsCodeLocation` in
`AppDelegate.m` to point to that file and deploy to your device like you would
any other app.

add to make a more complete offering before we open source.
