iOS Setup

Reference for setting up iOS for use with the Link React Native SDK

iOS Setup

Add Plaid to your project’s Podfile as follows (likely located at ios/Podfile). The latest version is version.

iOS SDK versions prior to 4.1.0 (released January 2023) will no longer support Chase OAuth flows as of January 1, 2024 (with a hard cutoff to follow in mid-January). If you are using an older version of the iOS SDK, make sure to upgrade before that date. This represents an extension of the original September 30, 2023 deadline. For more details, see the in-process webview deprecation notice.

1pod 'Plaid', '~> <insert latest version>'

Then install your CocoaPods dependencies:

1(cd ios && pod install)

That's all you need to do if using a recent react-native version with autolinking support. To begin coding your integration, see Opening Link.

Manual Integration

If using a version of react-native without autolinking support, then you will need to:

1react-native link react-native-plaid-link-sdk

followed by:

  1. In Xcode, in the Project Navigator, right click Libraries ▶ Add Files to [your project's name]
  2. Go to node_modules ▶ react-native-plaid-link-sdk ▶ ios and add RNLinksdk.xcodeproj
  3. In Xcode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNLinksdk.a to your project's Build Phases ▶ Link Binary With Libraries
  4. Run your project (Cmd+R).

Now your React Native application is linked to the Plaid React Native SDK for iOS development. To begin coding your integration, see Opening Link.

OAuth Setup

All Plaid integrations are required to support OAuth; for full details on OAuth support, see the OAuth guide. OAuth support on iOS requires the following client-side configuration:
