@wyplay/react-native-wycdn

A React Native module that allows integration of WyCDN into mobile and TV applications.

Dependencies

• Node.js LTS 20 (or compatible release)

For Android:

• A minSdkVersion greater than or equal to API level 28.

Installation

yarn add @wyplay/react-native-wycdn

Configuration for Android

1. Ensure minSdkVersion is compatible with WyCDN service

At the start of your app root build.gradle file (not the one near the src directory), ensure minSdkVersion is greater than or equal to API level 28.

buildscript {
    ext {
        ...
        minSdkVersion = 28 // or greater
        ...
    }
    ...
}

2. Add Wyplay maven repository to root build.gradle

At the end of your app root build.gradle file, add the following block to declare Wyplay Maven repository:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    maven {
      name "wyplayRepositoryReleases"
      url "https://maven.wyplay.com/releases"
      credentials(PasswordCredentials)
    }
  }
}

3. Declare properties in gradle.properties

In your application gradle.properties file, declare the following properties for WyCDN version and repository credentials:

# Set the version of WyCDN service below or using command-line
# (eg: `./gradlew build -P wycdnServiceVersion=x.y.z).
wycdnServiceVersion=VERSION_PLACEHOLDER

# Set wyplayRepositoryReleases repository username and password below or using command-line
# (eg: `./gradlew build -P wyplayRepositoryReleasesUsername=username -P wyplayRepositoryReleasesPassword=password`).
wyplayRepositoryReleasesUsername=USERNAME_PLACEHOLDER
wyplayRepositoryReleasesPassword=PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER

Replace VERSION_PLACEHOLDER, USERNAME_PLACEHOLDER, PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER with values given by Wyplay.

This ensures that your project can download the required WyCDN service dependencies from Wyplay Maven repository.

4. Allow cleartext traffic

In order to communicate with the WyCDN proxy, you app need to allow cleartext traffic to localhost.

Add a networkSecurityConfig to AndroidManifest.xml

To enable the network security configuration, you need to add the following attribute to your application's tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file in the src/main directory.

src/main/AndroidManifest.xml content:

<application
    ...
    android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config">
    ...
</application>

Create network_security_config.xml file

Next, you need to create a new XML file named network_security_config.xml in the src/main/res/xml directory of your project. If the res/xml directory does not exist, create it.

src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="false">127.0.0.1</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

To allow debugging your app with Metro, you need to create another network_security_config.xml file in the src/debug/res/xml directory of your project. This configuration will only be used for debug builds.

src/debug/res/xml/network_security_config.xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
    </base-config>
</network-security-config>
