3️⃣ Add device permissions

Android

Open the file app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, and add the following contents:

    <!-- Permissions required by the SDK -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <!-- Permissions required by the App -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" />

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

Note: Because Android 6.0 requires dynamic permissions for some of the more important permissions, you cannot apply for static permissions only through the AndroidMainfest.xml file. Therefore, you need to refer to the following code

import {PermissionsAndroid} from 'react-native';

const granted = PermissionsAndroid.check(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA,
                                        PermissionsAndroid.RECORD_AUDIO);
granted.then((data)=>{

        if(!data) {
            const permissions = [PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECORD_AUDIO, PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA];
            PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple(permissions);
        }
    }).catch((err)=>{
    console.log(err.toString());
    })
}

iOS

Choose the option TARGETS -> Info -> Custom iOS Target Properties

Click the + Add button to add camera and microphone permissions.

• Privacy - Camera Usage Description

• Privacy - Microphone Usage Description

After adding permissions, it will be as shown:

4️⃣ Init SDK

            if(engine != undefined)
                console.log("init sdk success");
            else
