Is react-native-bluetooth-escpos-printer compatible with expo go?

[aakashgupta0205]

I am trying to connect to a bluetooth thermal printer in my expo go app. I came across react-native-bluetooth-escpos-printer plugin. Is it compatible with expo go?

Hello @aakashgupta0205, I'm not familiar with this library, but after quick look at the code it looks like Expo Go is not supported, however, you can use any React Native library while using expo-dev-client in the development process instead of Expo Go app:

Let me give it a shot. Thanks @Simek!

we have a production application and yes we need expo dev client as we need to do some native changes and we don't have a configuration plugin from the maintainer

You can use this expo-react-native-bluetooth-escpos-printer.
