Migration steps

Update package version

Update the version of react-native-firework-sdk from 1.x.x to 2.x.x.

Update the Android project setting

As RN SDK V2 upgrades Android SDK from V5 to V6, please follow this guide to set up the Android project.

The main changes are:

• The min kotlin version is: 1.6.10

• Add mavenCentral() to build.gradle

• V2 doesn't require adding maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } to build.gradle. You could remove maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } if no other library requires this.

Initialize SDK

If you pass the user id to the SDK V1 init method, you need to follow V2 usage instead of V1 usage.

// V1 usage
FireworkSDK.getInstance().init('the user id of the host app');

// V2 usage
FireworkSDK.getInstance().init({
  userId: 'the user id of the host app',
});

if you don't pass the user id to the SDK V1 init method, you don't need to make changes.

Configure video launch behavior

You need to follow V2 usage instead of V1 usage to configure video launch behavior.

// V1 usage
<VideoFeed
  source="discover"
  mode="row"
  videoPlayerConfiguration={{ 'launchBehavior': 'muteOnFirstLaunch' }}
/>

// V2 usage
FireworkSDK.getInstance().init({
  videoLaunchBehavior: 'muteOnFirstLaunch',
});

Configure the shopping CTA style through JS codes(Only supported on iOS)

You need to follow V2 usage instead of V1 usage to configure the shopping CTA style through JS codes on the iOS side.

// V1 usage
FireworkSDK.getInstance().shopping.onWillDisplayProduct = async (_) => {
  return {
    addToCartButton: {
     backgroundColor: '#c0c0c0',
     textColor: '#ffffff',
     fontSize: 16,
    },
  };
};

// V2 usage
FireworkSDK.getInstance().shopping.productInfoViewConfiguration = {
    ctaButton: {
     backgroundColor: '#c0c0c0',
     textColor: '#ffffff',
     fontSize: 16,
    },
};
