1. Setting up the Environment

1.1 Update build.gradle​

In your React Native project, navigate to the android folder and open the build.gradle file. Ensure that the buildScript configuration has a minSdkVersion equal to or above 24

android/build.gradle
buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 24
        compileSdkVersion = 34
        targetSdkVersion = 34
        ndkVersion = "26.1.10909125"
        kotlinVersion = "1.9.22"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin")
    }
}

1.2 Add Metric Repository​

Add the Metric repository to the allprojects section of your android/build.gradle file (below the buildScript configuration)

android/build.gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url  "http://android.metric.africa:8081/artifactory/metric-sdk-sdk"
            allowInsecureProtocol true
            credentials {
                username = sdkUserName
                password = sdkPassword
            }
        }
    }
}
info

The sdkUserName and sdkPassword will be provided upon request.
