Integrate Flurry SDK for React Native¶

Integrating with the Flurry SDK is easy and straightforward for React Native developers.

Follow these instructions and in no time at all, you’ll be ready to start logging events and monetizing your apps.

Prerequisites: Flurry React Native plugin supports Android API level 16 and higher, and Xcode 8 and iOS 8 and higher.

If you are looking to release apps targeting older devices, please refer to the related guidelines - iOS and Android.

Create an App & Get Your API Key¶

Start by creating an app. Once you create the app, you’ll receive a Flurry API Key, which you’ll need when using the SDK.

Important

You need to have the administrator role on your company’s account to be able to create a new app within the company.

Note

Each app that is created will acquire a unique Flurry API Key. For example, two API keys are needed to release on both Android and iOS platforms.
