@adobe/react-native-aepplaces		Places
@adobe/react-native-aeptarget		Target
@adobe/react-native-aepcampaignclassic		CampaignClassic

Note: Since version 5.0.0 of the Adobe React Native SDK, all React Native libraries that share the same major version are compatible with each other.

Requirements

React Native

Requires React Native (0.60.0 - 0.72.x)

Xcode

To submit iOS apps to the App Store, you must build them using Xcode 15 or later, as required by Apple.

iOS Privacy Manifest

Important

Adobe Experience Platform React Native 6.x libraries now depend on Experience Platform iOS 5.x SDKs, which have been updated to align with Apple's latest guidelines on privacy manifest. For further details on how Apple's privacy-related announcements affect the Adobe mobile SDK for iOS, please refer to this document.

React Native New Architecture Support

React Native 0.7x introduced support for a new architecture. We don't yet support the new architecture.

Installation

You need to install Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDK with npm packages and configure the native Android/iOS project in your React Native project.

Note: If you are new to React Native, we suggest you follow the React Native Getting Started page before continuing.

Install AEP npm packages

Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDK packages can be installed from npm command.

Note: @adobe/react-native-aepcore is required to be installed.

Install the @adobe/react-native-aep{extension} package:

cd MyReactApp
npm install @adobe/react-native-aep{extension}

Alternatively, include the Adobe Experience Platform npm packages as dependencies in the app’s package.json.

The following code snippet shows for Mobile Core and Edge Network extensions as an example in package.json:

...
"dependencies": {
    "react-native": "0.72.5",
    "@adobe/react-native-aepcore": "^6.0.0", //core is required and includes aepcore, aepsignal, aeplifecycle, aepidentity libraries
    "@adobe/react-native-aepedge": "^6.0.0",
    "@adobe/react-native-aepedgeidentity": "^6.0.0",
    "@adobe/react-native-aepedgeconsent": "^6.0.0",
...
},

Inside of the app directory, run

#if using node package manager
npm install

#if using yarn package manager
yarn install

ios development

For iOS development, after installing the plugins from npm, download the pod dependencies by running the following command:

cd ios && pod install && cd ..

To update native dependencies to latest available versions, run the following command:

cd ios && pod update && cd ..

Initializing

Initializing the SDK should be done in native code inside your AppDelegate (iOS) and MainApplication (Android). The following code snippets demonstrate how to install and register the AEP Mobile Core and Edge Network extensions. Documentation on how to initialize each extension can be found in ./packages/{extension}/README.md.

iOS

//AppDelegate.h
@import AEPCore;
@import AEPServices;
@import AEPLifecycle;
@import AEPSignal;
@import AEPEdge;
@import AEPEdgeIdentity;
@import AEPEdgeConsent;
...

//AppDelegate.m
...
@implementation AppDelegate
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  [AEPMobileCore setLogLevel: AEPLogLevelDebug];
  [AEPMobileCore configureWithAppId:@"yourAppID"];

  const UIApplicationState appState = application.applicationState;

  [AEPMobileCore registerExtensions: @[
      AEPMobileLifecycle.class,
      AEPMobileSignal.class,
      AEPMobileEdge.class,
      AEPMobileEdgeIdentity.class,
      AEPMobileEdgeConsent.class,
  ] completion:^{
    if (appState != UIApplicationStateBackground) {
       [AEPMobileCore lifecycleStart:nil}];
    }
  }];
  return YES;
}

@end

To enable the Lifecycle metrics, implement the Lifecycle APIs

Hint : While running iOS application after Adobe Experience Platform SDK installation. If you have build error that states: "ld: warning: Could not find or use auto-linked library 'swiftCoreFoundation'" This is because Adobe Experience Platform SDK now requires the app uses swift interfaces. Add a dummy .swift file to your project to embed the swift standard libs. See the SampleApp presented in this repo for example.

Android:

//MainApplication.java
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.AdobeCallback;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Extension;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.LoggingMode;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.MobileCore;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Lifecycle;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Signal;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Edge;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.edge.consent.Consent;
...
import android.app.Application;

...
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  ...
  @Override
  public void on Create(){
    super.onCreate();
    ...
    MobileCore.setApplication(this);
    MobileCore.setLogLevel(LoggingMode.DEBUG);
    MobileCore.configureWithAppID("yourAppID");
    List<Class<? extends Extension>> extensions = Arrays.asList(
                Lifecycle.EXTENSION,
                Signal.EXTENSION,
                Edge.EXTENSION,
                com.adobe.marketing.mobile.edge.identity.Identity.EXTENSION,
                Consent.EXTENSION);
    MobileCore.registerExtensions(extensions, o -> {
      Log.d(LOG_TAG, "AEP Mobile SDK is initialized");
      MobileCore.lifecycleStart(null);
      //enable this for Lifecycle. See Note for collecting Lifecycle metrics.
    });
  }
}

To enable the Lifecycle metrics, implement the Lifecycle APIs

Migration guide

See migration.md for guidance on migrating from ACP React Native libraries.

Troubleshooting and Known issues

Getting error when building on iOS Xcode

Use of '@import' when C++ modules are disabled, consider using -fmodules and -fcxx-modules

Refer to the solution here.
