react-native-otp-verify

This package uses Automatic SMS Verification with the SMS Retriever API. With the SMS Retriever API, you can perform SMS-based user verification in your Android app automatically, without requiring the user to manually type verification codes, and without requiring any extra app permissions.

Message Format/Structure

In order to detect the message, SMS message must include a hash that identifies your app. This hash can be obtained by using the getHash() method below.

Please read the official documentation for the message structure at this Google developer guide

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-otp-verify --save or $ yarn add react-native-otp-verify

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-otp-verify
