How I can run this library in my react native project. I need to create a mobile app

[freeboub]

I tried to port it to react native, but it is not so easy ...

Any alternative code reference or full source code of Android app @freeboub

[freeboub]

Unfortunately it was not successful, but I can share the code 'as is' (if I still have it). We found issue with this repo depending of the android tv device used, that's another reason why we stopped working on it...

@louis49 Can you provide Android & iOS Code in Java and Swift for TV Remote

Same problem here when I add androidtv-remote to a react native/typescript project I get an error about the crypto depdencies:

error: Error: Unable to resolve module crypto from /home/vricosti/Dev/lota-remotectl/lota-remotectl-app/node_modules/androidtv-remote/dist/certificate/CertificateGenerator.js: crypto could not be found within the project or in these directories:

It would be great to fix it inside this project because other solutions implies to play with react-native-quick-crypto or crypto-browserify or rn-nodeify and it's a bit clumsy.

Update: I followed the crypto-browserify path since I don't need crypto performance:

yarn add crypto-browserify
yarn add react-native-tcp-socket
yarn add react-native-url-polyfill
yarn add path-browserify
yarn --dev add babel-plugin-rewrite-require

Inside babel.config.js:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    'module:@react-native/babel-preset'
  ],
  plugins: [
    ['babel-plugin-rewrite-require', {
      "aliases": {
        "crypto": "crypto-browserify",
        "tls": "react-native-tcp-socket",
        "url": "react-native-url-polyfill",
        "path": "path-browserify"
      }
    }],
    // from doc: react-native-reanimated/plugin has to be listed last.
    'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
  ],
};

The last error is about missing systeminformation on react ,native and for this one, I think it would be better to fix directly the source code instead of provinding a ugly hack. Don't even know if this project is still maintained...

Here is my progress: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/issues/1079

Actually I have removed dependecies on specific node modules (crypto, fs path, systeminfomation) https://github.com/vricosti/androidtv-remote/tree/dev/simplify-deps at the end I have a freeze as soon as I instantiate AndroidRemote...

I have progressed and finally I think the last part is to manage to replace tls module: https://github.com/vricosti/TestAndroidTVRemoteApp
