I have a ethereum Dapp for web application and have metamask extension installed in my chrome browser to make transactions. Now i want the same application to be developed in android using react-native.
How to install some wallets like metamask in the devices and make transactions in mobile device without using Mainnet?
Is that possible to achieve this?If yes can any one please help me out on how to develop this app. Thanks in advance.
I'm struggling with the same exact issue myself. In the past, I've managed to achieve this by creating an instance of web3 on the react-native application. Doing so, I was able to perform and sign transactions locally on the phone, making use of a Keystore file on a static location of the phone. From my experience, this eventually became really slow and react-native+web3js (I followed this link as a helper if I remember correctly) didn't work 100% well together. So now I'm trying different approaches, like using webview tags to make use of a browser inside your react native app. So, if you want, give it a try with the web3+RN, maybe you are luckier than me and it ends up working as expected with you. Hope this helps.
webview? I tried to use rn-nodeify with ipfs module and there were a few bundle issues which I could not solve. I am looking into options to use web3 in my RN app. There requires hacks to my understanding so far.
