At the point where I created a brand new app on appwrite but cannot instantiate the react platform without cloning a whole other app and doing some ping button press. Just want to use for my tmdb movies app which the instructions in the JS Mastery tutorial differ from the changes on Appwrite site on how to do this. How can I skip this process and still instatiate a react native platform on my new app? Confused so please don't hesitate to ask for more info.

Also tried to do the ping by adding env's to the cloned app as a workaround and even that didn't work because you need user instances which are not apart of the JS Mastery tutorial with Adrian. The Appwrite Website was less complicated in his tutorial but with recent changes on the site, it's not the same one.

TL;DR
Issue: Having trouble creating platform for React TMDB movies tutorial on new app in Appwrite without requested ping. Instructions in tutorial differ from current Appwrite site. Solution: In order to instantiate a React Native platform on a new app without cloning another app, try manually adding required environment variables to the new app. This should help skip the ping process and allow you to proceed.
