# Add PinchSDK

# Prerequisites

The following criterias must be fulfilled to implement the SDK:

• Minimum iOS target: 9.0
• Minimum Android SDK version: 15
• Minimum Android compile version: 28
• Java 8+

# Install native module package

You can install packages from the command line with yarn or npm:

$ yarn add react-native-pinch-sdk -E

$ npm install react-native-pinch-sdk --save-exact

# Android

In your android projects AndroidManifest.xml, add the following element as a child of the <application> element by inserting it just before the closing </application> tag:

  <meta-data
      android:name="com.fluxloop.pinch.sdk.API_KEY"
      android:value="your-api-key-here"/>

If your project utilizies ProGuard, add the following exception to your ProGuard definition:

-keepclassmembers class com.fluxloop.pinch.core.model.** { *; }

# iOS

Navigate to your projects iOS directory and install the pods imported by the PinchSDK module, and open your xcworkspace:

$ cd ios
$ pod install
$ open <ProjectName>.xcworkspace

In your AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions add the following method call:

#import <PinchSDK/PinchSDK-Swift.h>
...

[PinchX initializeWith:launchOptions apiKey:@"YOUR-API-KEY"];

Add bluetooth-central to your applications background modes. This allows us to scan for eddystone data without having access to users location.

# Import it

PinchSDK can now be used by importing it:

import { Pinch } from 'react-native-pinch-sdk'
