React Native Indy SDK

React Native Indy SDK wrapper.

Installation

with npm: $ npm install indy-sdk-react-native --save

with Yarn: $ yarn add indy-sdk-react-native

Link (for React Native lower than 0.60)

$ react-native link indy-sdk-react-native

Android

See https://github.com/TimoGlastra/ExampleRnIndySDK for an example android react native project that follows this tutorial.

1. Set min SDK version

Make sure there is a min. SDK version setup in android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
        ...
        minSdkVersion = 21
        ...
    }
}

2. Add Sovrin Maven repository

Add Sovrin Maven repository into android/build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven {
            url 'https://repo.sovrin.org/repository/maven-public'
        }
        ...
    }
}

3. Add JNA library dependency

Add to android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation 'net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.2.0'

    // ...
}

4. Add Android libindy binaries

Download Android libindy binaries and copy them into android/app/src/main/jniLibs.

  1. Create android/app/src/main/jniLibs directory in your project
  2. Create subdirectories arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64 inside android/app/src/main/jniLibs.
  3. Download the required libindy binaries for your release-channel and version
    • with stable channel and version 1.15.0 base url will be https://repo.sovrin.org/android/libindy/stable/1.15.0/
    • download the binaries for arm64, armv7, x86 and x86_64, e.g.:
      • libindy_android_arm64_1.15.0.zip
      • libindy_android_armv7_1.15.0.zip
      • libindy_android_x86_1.15.0.zip
      • libindy_android_x86_64_1.15.0.zip
  4. Extract all downloaded ZIP files and copy libindy.so files to corresponding jniLibs directory
    • libindy_arm64/lib/libindy.so to jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libindy.so
    • libindy_armv7/lib/libindy.so to jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libindy.so
    • libindy_x86/lib/libindy.so to jniLibs/x86/libindy.so
    • libindy_x86_64/lib/libindy.so to jniLibs/x86_64/libindy.so
  5. Download the required JNA binaries from the JNA GitHub repo
  6. Extract all downloaded JAR files and copy libjnidispatch.so to corresponding jniLibs directory
    • You can extract the .so file from the jar using the jar command. e.g. jar xf android-x86.jar
    • libjnidispatch.so from android-aarch64.jar to jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libjnidispatch.so
    • libjnidispatch.so from android-armv7.jar to jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libjnidispatch.so
    • libjnidispatch.so from android-x86.jar to jniLibs/x86/libjnidispatch.so
    • libjnidispatch.so from android-x86-64.jar to jniLibs/x86_64/libjnidispatch.so

5. Load indy library

Add the following to MainActivity.java:

//...

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.system.ErrnoException;
import android.system.Os;
import java.io.File;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  //...

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    try {
      Os.setenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE", getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath(), true);
      System.loadLibrary("indy");
    } catch (ErrnoException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

iOS

  1. Install CocoaPods dependencies:
pod install --project-directory=ios/
  1. Create Frameworks folder in your project's ios/Pods directory and copy Indy.framework into that directory. The most recent version of the Indy.Framework can be found here.

  2. [Optional] Most projects have ios/Pods ignored in their .gitignore. This is good practice, however this means the framework would need to be added after every clone. To prevent this you can "unignore" the Frameworks directory:

ios/Pods/
!ios/Pods/Frameworks
  1. Add Indy.framework as dependency into your project. Open .xcworkspace file in Xcode and in your project settings, tab General, section Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content, click on plus. Then select Add Other -> Add files... and navigate to Indy.framework file on your disk.

Beware that the Indy SDK repository does not have the "Build Libraries for Distribution" enabled by default. If that setting is disabled the version of Swift your project uses must be the same as the version of Swift used to compile Indy.framework. From Swift 5.0 onwards, building the library with that setting enabled will allow to use an Indy.framework build that is compiled with a different version of Swift as your project. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/63305234/10552895 for more info.

Usage

import indy from 'indy-sdk-react-native'

await indy.createWallet({ id: 'wallet-123' }, { key: 'key' })

You can see example project here https://github.com/jakubkoci/UseReactNativeIndySdk/. It currently shows only usage on Android.

Known Errors

Add setup of external storage permissions (Android)

I found an error with permission while calling createWallet when I was testing 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.
