Please note that issues filed in this repository are not an official Google support channel and are answered on a best effort basis. For official support, please visit: https://cloud.google.com/support-hub.

If you have an issue with the React Native plugin please post issues in this repository. If you are having issues with the underlying SDK, please post issues in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/recaptcha-enterprise-mobile-sdk.

For general documentation on reCAPTCHA Enterprise for mobile applications, see Android and iOS.

Setup

Add the package to your React Native project:

npx yarn add @google-cloud/recaptcha-enterprise-react-native

If using VSCode install eslint:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint

You may need to use an older JDK:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-19-latest/Contents/Home

Podfile

Similar to Firebase, the library requires frameworks and static linkage:

use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

And flipper is not compatible with static linkage so disable flipper in the Podfile:

flipper_config = FlipperConfiguration.disabled

Basic Usage

This section shows how to integrate with reCAPTCHA SDK.

1. Import Recaptcha

Use the following imports to access the APIs provided by the SDK.

import {
  Recaptcha,
  RecaptchaAction,
  type RecaptchaClient,
} from '@google-cloud/recaptcha-enterprise-react-native';

2. Initialize the client

Instantiate a client by using the reCAPTCHA key (KEY_ID) that you created for your Android/iOS app.

const client = await Recaptcha.fetchClient(SITE_KEY);

[!NOTE] You must initialize the reCAPTCHA client only once during the lifetime of your app.

3. Fetch Token

For each action of your app that is protected using reCAPTCHA, call the execute method passing a RecaptchaAction. reCAPTCHA provides a built-in set of actions and if necessary you can create custom actions.

The following code snippet shows how to use execute to protect a LOGIN action.

const token = await client.execute(RecaptchaAction.LOGIN());

In case a custom action use RecaptchaAction.custom('ACTION');

Example App

Follow guidance at Example App.

Common Problems:

error: include of non-modular header inside framework module 'RecaptchaEnterprise.Recaptcha'

Use static linking in pods, for instance: USE_FRAMEWORKS=static pod install or use_frameworks! :linkage => :static in your Podfile.

`fatal error: 'FlipperKit/FlipperClient.h' file not found #import

<FlipperKit/FlipperClient.h>`

Flipper is not yet compatible with static linkage, so disable flipper in your Podfile: flipper_config = FlipperConfiguration.disabled

SDK Location Not found

Run the following command in the terminal:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk

Unsupported class file major version 67

This happens when a unsupported Java version is used. Run

npx react-native doctor

To discover the version that's being used and the supported ones. Change the version of Java to a supported one and try again.
