react-native-sms-retriever-with-version-check

With the SMS Retriever API, you can perform SMS-based user verification in your Android app automatically, without requiring the user to manually type verification codes, and without requiring any extra app permissions.

Basic Usage

import SmsRetriever from 'react-native-sms-retriever';

// Get the phone number (first gif)
 _onPhoneNumberPressed = async () => {
  try {
    const phoneNumber = await SmsRetriever.requestPhoneNumber();
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
  }
 };

// Get the SMS message (second gif)
_onSmsListenerPressed = async () => {
  try {
    const registered = await SmsRetriever.startSmsRetriever();
    if (registered) {
      SmsRetriever.addSmsListener(event => {
        console.log(event.message);
        SmsRetriever.removeSmsListener();
      }); 
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
  }
};

About Phone

To get the phone number, use a real device. The SMS Retriever API doesn't work very well with emulators.

About SMS

The SMS Retriever API has some rules for message. A valid verification message might look like the following:

<#> Your Example app code is: 123ABC78
/SBnkJ8069Q

The <#> is required. The /SBnkJ8069Q is a hash string that identifies your app (in the case it's the hash of the example app). Too see how to generate the hash access this link. Alternatively, you can get your app's hash string with the AppSignatureHelper class.
