React Native

Getting started

Add the akiles-react-native NPM package:

npm install akiles-react-native  # using NPM
yarn add akiles-react-native  # using Yarn

Then you can use it:

import akiles from 'akiles-react-native';

await akiles.addSession("mt_xxxxxxx");

Card emulation

Follow both the Android and iOS guides to configure card emulation.

Note you need to call startCardEmulation() on iOS only. On Android card emulation works system-wide, simply by having your app installed and the session added. You should check whether you’re on iOS or not in order to show/hide the “Start card emulation” button.

Demo app

The repo contains an SDK demo app that showcases all major SDK features:

• Session management: Add/remove member sessions using tokens
• Gadget actions: Open doors and control devices via internet or Bluetooth
• Hardware scanning: Discover nearby Akiles devices via Bluetooth
• Hardware sync: Update device firmware and configuration
• NFC card scanning: Read and update Akiles cards
• Card emulation: Start card emulation. (iOS only, on Android card emulation works in the background just by having the app installed)

The app displays real-time status updates for both internet and Bluetooth operations, making it easy to test different scenarios.
