## 📦 Monorepo Consolidation

This repository represents the **consolidated monorepo** for the Vonage Video React Native SDK. We merged previously separate branding-specific repositories (including [opentok-react-native](https://github.com/opentok/opentok-react-native)) into this single codebase to eliminate duplication and streamline maintenance.

This monorepo uses **brand-aware build configuration** to produce both OpenTok and Vonage branded artifacts from shared sources. Bug fixes and features are now automatically available to both brands from a single source of truth.

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
npm install opentok-react-native@<VERSION>
# or
yarn add opentok-react-native@<VERSION>
```

**Note:** Replace `<VERSION>` with the target version to use.

For complete installation instructions including iOS and Android setup, see the [official installation guide](https://tokbox.com/developer/sdks/react-native/#installation).

### Basic Usage

```jsx
<OTSession apiKey="your-api-key" sessionId="your-session-id" token="your-session-token">
  <OTPublisher style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }}/>
  <OTSubscriber style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }} />
</OTSession>
```

## Important: React Native New Architecture Support

**Starting from version 2.31.1**, the OpenTok React Native SDK is built with the [React Native new architecture](https://reactnative.dev/architecture/landing-page).

- ✅ **Supported:** React Native 0.76+ (new architecture)
- ❌ **Not supported:** Older React Native versions (legacy architecture)

Applications using older SDK versions will need to migrate to React Native's new architecture before upgrading. See the [installation guide](https://tokbox.com/developer/sdks/react-native/#installation) for required package registration steps.
