Getting Started

Full documentation is available at Smile ID Documentation

0. Requirements

• Node.js >=16.0
• React Native >=0.70 and <=0.74.2 (Old Architecture only)
• A smile_config.json file from Smile ID Portal
• See: Android Requirements for Android specific requirements.
• See: iOS Requirements for iOS specific requirements.

1. Compatibility

This SDK supports React Native versions 0.70 to 0.74.2 on the Old Architecture only. Using it on unsupported versions may lead to unexpected issues such as build failures, SmileID components not rendering, or runtime crashes.

If you're using Expo, use the SmileID Expo SDK.

For the New Architecture or React Native > 0.74.2, we don't currently have an official SDK. If you'd like to build your own wrapper around the native SmileID SDKs, check out our recipes repo for guides and a sample wrapper implementation to reference.

2. Dependency

The latest release is available on npm

Add the dependency to your package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@smile_identity/react-native": "<latest-version>"
  }
}

3. Initialization

There are multiple ways to initialize the SDK. See Initialization and choose the best option for your integration
