WEB3 React Native: Add Web3 modules to mobile apps

Understand the project

Practical overview

Use it when building a React Native mobile app that needs the project's native Web3 modules and you can handle the platform-specific native setup.

React Native developers adding Web3 functionality to an iOS or Android application.
Teams configuring native Web3 dependencies in an existing mobile app.

Before you choose

The project provides separate native setup instructions for iOS and Android.
Its iOS setup pins secp256k1.c 0.1.2 and web3swift 2.2.1 in the Podfile.
The README describes the iOS Podfile additions as a workaround for podspec definition constraints.
React Native versions below 0.60 require the documented react-native link step.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up WEB3 React Native in an existing mobile project using the documented platform-specific configuration.

An existing React Native application.
npm or Yarn for installing the package.
For iOS, CocoaPods and the app's ios/Podfile; for Android, access to AndroidManifest.xml and the ability to rebuild the app.

Install the package with the command below or yarn add web3-react-native.
Documented command
```
npm install --save web3-react-native
```
For React Native versions below 0.60, run react-native link to expose native library dependencies to the compiled app.
For iOS, add pod 'secp256k1.c', '0.1.2', :modular_headers => true and pod 'web3swift', '2.2.1', :modular_headers => true to ios/Podfile, then run pod install.
For Android, set android:largeHeap="true" under the application element in AndroidManifest.xml, then rebuild with react-native run-android.

The package is installed and the README's native dependency configuration is applied for the selected platform.

The iOS Podfile additions are described by the project as a workaround for existing podspec definition constraints.
These instructions cover installation and native configuration; they do not provide an application-level usage example.
