# React Native

> Rownd bindings for React Native

### Prerequisites

You must be using React Native v0.64 or higher.

### Installation

First, install the Rownd SDK for React Native.

```bash theme={null}
npm install @rownd/react-native
```

### Expo

You can find specific Expo installation instructions [here](/sdk-reference/mobile/expo).

#### Android

1. Ensure the Sdk versions match or are above provided versions. File:
   *android/build.gradle*

```jsx theme={null}
ext {
  ...
  minSdkVersion = 26
  compileSdkVersion = 32
  targetSdkVersion = 31
  ...
}
```

2. Install the Rownd library and dependencies.

```bash theme={null}
cd android && ./gradlew build
```

3. Check and update your ProGuard config using [the rules from our Android SDK](https://github.com/rownd/android/blob/main/README.md#proguard-config).

4. Only required for Google Sign-in: Add a Rownd plugin initializer to your MainActivity file. File: \*android/app/src/main/java/.../MainActivity.java

```java theme={null}
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.reactnativerowndplugin.RowndPluginPackage;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    RowndPluginPackage.preInit(this);
  }
}
```

#### iOS

1. Ensure iOS version is at least 14. File: *ios/Podfile*

```jsx theme={null}
platform: ios, "14.0";
```

2. Install the Rownd pod and it's dependencies

```bash theme={null}
cd ios && pod install
```

#### Enable deep linking

Rownd supports automatically signing-in users when they initially install your
app or when they click a sign-in link when the app is already installed.
