React Native

The setup for React Native is rather different than Node.js. We do not have to install dependencies on the host-platform, but for the build target. This would be the indy-sdk for Android and iOS.

Known Errors​

Add setup of external storage permissions (Android)​

If you find the following error when using this package:

2020-01-27 16:25:02.300 9955-10044/com.usereactnativeindysdk E/log_panics: thread 'unnamed' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }': libcore/result.rs:945

Modify onCreate method in MainActivity of your project where you want to use this library in a following way:

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  ...
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    File externalFilesDir = getExternalFilesDir(null);
    String path = externalFilesDir.getAbsolutePath();
    System.out.println("externalFilesDir=" + path);

    try {
      Os.setenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE", path, true);
    } catch (ErrnoException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    ...
  }
  ...
}

This should resolve the issue with permissions.
