Manually

iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-fingerprint-scanner and add ReactNativeFingerprintScanner.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libReactNativeFingerprintScanner.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
4. Run your project (Cmd+R)

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.hieuvp.fingerprint.ReactNativeFingerprintScannerPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new ReactNativeFingerprintScannerPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-fingerprint-scanner'
   project(':react-native-fingerprint-scanner').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fingerprint-scanner/android')
   

2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

   compile project(':react-native-fingerprint-scanner')
   

Extra Steps

1. Make sure the following versions are all correct in android/app/build.gradle

   android {
       compileSdkVersion 25
       buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
   ...
       defaultConfig {
         targetSdkVersion 25
   

2. Add necessary rules to android/app/proguard-rules.pro

   # MeiZu Fingerprint
   
   -keep class com.fingerprints.service.** { *; }
   
   # Samsung Fingerprint
   
   -keep class com.samsung.android.sdk.** { *; }
