React Native support in Connect SDK v5

Joaquim Verges

We just released v5.23.0 of the connect SDK with React Native support!

With this release, you can use almost all of the thirdweb package inside a react native application with the exact same API as web.

The only difference is that you need to install the @thirdweb-dev/react-native-adapter package along with some other peer dependencies.

To get started, follow the installation instructions in our developer portal.

We built a live demo using expo that showcases signing in with google and phone number to create in-app wallets with the smart accounts for gasless transactions.

In this version, you can use in-app and smart wallets to build onchain mobile apps with great UX, interacting with any contract on any EVM chain. External wallets like WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet and others will be added in the next version.

We'll be adding native UI components for connect, transaction and pay in the upcoming versions as well, but everything can be built right now natively using the SDK functions and hooks.

We're so excited about bringing the best of thirdweb to mobile apps, and can't wait to see what you build with it!
