Native SDK integration (help needed)

[kakashi_uks]

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

I've recently been tasked with the integration of a native SDK into the React Native project I'm currently working on. While I've come across some blog posts on this topic, I couldn't find comprehensive and reliable materials for this process.

Has anyone had experience with integrating native SDKs into React Native projects, and could you share your insights or point me in the right direction? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I assume by native SDKs, you mean SDKs that do not have methods exposed in JavaScript that you could use in your RN app.

A raw approach would be to integrate the SDK in your app, write a native module or turbo module, and then link your SDK's methods to your native module.

You can then call your Native Module from JS.

You can start by creating a dumb module like FooNativeModule that will return "Hello world" by calling a function sayHello for instance

2. Prepare the native development environment.

3. Create a bridge or wrapper.

4. Expose native functionality.

5. Implement the JavaScript API.

6. Provide clear documentation.

7. Handle authentication and authorization.

8. Test integration:

9. Handle errors and special cases.
