SMS auto read feature.

Expo SDK
1

I am using following :

  1. EXPO SDK Version: ~42.0.1
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android/iOS

I am using react-native-otp-verify package to auto read SMS (one-time-password).

This package seems to get failed in reading method definitions not available, can someone please suggest other package or example to achieve sms auto-read functionality in expo app.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi @priyankasadh678

Are you using EAS Build to build your app? Because react-native-otp-verify includes native code you will need to either use EAS Build or else eject to the bare workflow.

I don’t think iOS allows apps to read SMSes.

Thanks @wodin for reply.

yes, I am not finding solution for expo itself.
for ios passing keyboardType={"number-pad"} textContentType='oneTimeCode' in textInut is working.

And, I am not building with EAS. Is it compulsory to have either EAS building or native-cli only ?
can’t the same be achieve in expo stand-alone ? @wodin

If you want to add a dependency to a managed Expo app that has native code (e.g. react-native-otp-verify includes native code), and if that dependency is not already included in the Expo SDK (react-native-otp-verify is not included in the Expo SDK) then:

  • You need to build with EAS Build; OR
  • You need to eject to the Bare workflow

EAS Build is currently a paid service, but they plan to have a free tier in future. Also, the documentation explains how you can use EAS to build on your own machine (for free) instead of using their build servers.
