Installing CleverTap React Native

  1. npm install --save clevertap-react-native

    Link CleverTap for React Native 0.59 or below & Not Using Cocoapods

  2. react-native link clevertap-react-native or follow the manual linking instructions below.

    Note:

    1. For React Native 0.60 or above linking is not required. Read more here.

    2. To disable auto-linking in Android, Add a react-native.config.js to the project root (where the package.json is) to exempt CleverTap package from auto linking:

    module.exports = {
dependencies: {
 	'clevertap-react-native': {
  	 platforms: {
 	  	 ios: null,
  	  	 android: null,
 	       },
     },
   },
};

Steps for iOS

iOS with podspec

  • Add pod 'clevertap-react-native', :path => '../node_modules/clevertap-react-native' as a dependency in your ios/Podfile.

For your iOS, add the following to your Podfile:

target 'YOUR_TARGET_NAME' do  
    use_frameworks!
    pod 'clevertap-react-native', :path => '../node_modules/clevertap-react-native'
end
  • Run pod install from your ios directory.

iOS without podspec

  • Add pod 'CleverTap-iOS-SDK' as a dependency in your ios/Podfile.
  • cd ios; pod install --repo-update
  • Note that after pod install, open your project using [MyProject].xcworkspace instead of the original .xcodeproj.

Troubleshooting

If you're on RN 0.60 or your project configuration doesn't allow to add use_frameworks! in the podfile, alternatively, you can add use_modular_headers! to enable the stricter search paths and module map generation for all of your pods, or you can add :modular_headers => true to a single pod declaration to enable for only that pod.

Steps for Android

  • Add the clevertap-android-sdk and firebase-messaging (if you wish to support push notifications) packages in your android/app/build.gradlefile.
dependencies {
	...
    implementation 'com.clevertap.android:clevertap-android-sdk:4.4.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:17.6.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.15.1' //Optional for Audio/Video
    implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-hls:2.15.1' //Optional for Audio/Video
    implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.15.1' //Optional for Audio/Video
    implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0' //Mandatory for App Inbox
    implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.1' //Mandatory for App Inbox
    implementation 'androidx.viewpager:viewpager:1.0.0' //Mandatory for App Inbox
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0' //Mandatory for App Inbox
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1' //Mandatory for App Inbox
    implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.3.0'
    implementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.6' // InApp
    //Mandatory for React Native SDK v0.3.9 and above add the following -
    implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.2'

    //Note - ExoPlayer dependencies are optional but all 3 are required for Audio/Video Inbox and InApp Messages
}

Troubleshooting

If you face the following crash at runtime -

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

Add the following in your app/build.gradle -

project.ext.react = [
    entryFile: "index.js",
    enableHermes: false //add this
]
def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc:+'
def enableHermes = project.ext.react.get("enableHermes", false);
def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc:+'
def enableHermes = project.ext.react.get("enableHermes", false);
dependencies {
if (enableHermes) {
      // For RN 0.60.x
      def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermesvm/android/"
      debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
      releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
      implementation jscFlavor
    }
}

In android/build.gradle add this -

maven {
        url "$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist"
      }

Manual Linking

iOS:

  • Drag and Drop node_modules/clevertap-react-native/ios/CleverTapReact.xcodeproj into the Libraries folder of your project in XCode (see Step 1 here).

  • Drag and Drop the libCleverTapReact.a product in CleverTapReact.xcodeproj into your project's target's "Link Binary With Libraries" section (see Step 2 here).

  • Add a Header Search Path pointing to $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/clevertap-react-native/ios (see Step 3 here).

Android:

android/settings.gradle

include ':clevertap-react-native'
project(':clevertap-react-native').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/clevertap-react-native/android')

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation project(':clevertap-react-native')
}

Now move on to integrating the SDK.
