Native SDKs versus Javascript SDK versus React Library #128

Closed georgeflug closed 2 years ago

georgeflug commented 2 years ago

As a newcomer to Chime and React Native, I'm confused about whether I need to use the Native SDKs as demonstrated here or whether the Javascript SDK or the React Library would be sufficient.

Do the javascript-based libraries work in React Native? If so, what is the difference between using those versus using the approach in this repo?

Thank you kindly.

Hi Javascript SDK or the React Library might not be fully compatible with React Native.

It should be working if you use web-view though.

You might also want to check out does it work with react native.

This repo demonstrates using Native SDKs and porting it into react native. This will allow us to keep development in the Native SDK, and additionally support react native.

Thank you very much for explaining that. It makes sense to me now.
