QuickCapture with Expo – How to Integrate?

[gs599]

Could you please guide me on how to integrate the QuickCapture React Native package into a React Native Expo project?

Yes, you can integrate @extrieve_technologies/quickcapture_react_native into an Expo project.
Since it’s a native module, you need to use an Expo dev Client. Make sure the Android SDK is installed on your system.

Steps:

1. Install dependencies and generate native projects:

npm install @extrieve_technologies/quickcapture_react_native
npm i expo-dev-client
npx expo prebuild --clean

2. Configure Android SDK:

• Update local.properties in the project root with your Android SDK path.
• Copy the same local.properties file into the android/ folder.

3. Add Extrieve Maven repository:

• Open android/build.gradle
• Add this inside allprojects { repositories { ... } }:

maven {url 'https://expack.extrieve.in/maven/'}

4. Build the app locally:

npx expo run:android

5. Start the Project:

npx expo start

That’s it. After this, use the installed development build (not Expo Go) to run the app.
