branch.json configuration file (optional)

Certain Branch configuration options may be controlled using a JSON configuration file in a React Native app project. This feature is rapidly evolving. Support will be added for further parameters and custom product flavors (Android) and build schemes (iOS). Watch this space for changes.

Starting in release 2.0.0-beta.7, if branch.json is present in the app bundle, the react-native-branch SDK will use it to set certain options. This is useful for supporting certain methods in the native SDKs that must be called before the native SDK initializes.

Add the files to your project

Be sure to commit branch.json and branch.debug.json to source control after adding them to your project (after running react-native link).

Using react-native link

If branch.json or branch.debug.json exists in a React Native application project using react-native-branch, they will be added to the native projects when react-native link is run. For example:

yarn add [email protected]
cp node_modules/react-native-branch/branch.example.json branch.json
react-native link react-native-branch

Projects that already use react-native-branch

Run react-native unlink react-native-branch first. For example:

react-native unlink react-native-branch
cp node_modules/react-native-branch/branch.example.json branch.json
react-native link react-native-branch

Manual integration without react-native link

Android

Put your branch.json file in app/src/main/assets/branch.json.

iOS

Add branch.json to your Xcode project using File > Add Files to "MyProject.xcodeproj". Also add it to the Copy Bundle Resources build phase for each application target in the project that uses the Branch SDK.

Branch configuration per build type and platform

It is possible to include different versions of the configuration for debug and release builds as well as for iOS and Android. The following files will be used, in order.

Android debug

  • branch.android.debug.json
  • branch.debug.json
  • branch.android.json
  • branch.json

Android release

  • branch.android.json
  • branch.json

iOS debug

  • branch.ios.debug.json
  • branch.debug.json
  • branch.ios.json
  • branch.json

iOS release

  • branch.ios.json
  • branch.json

Using react-native link

Optionally add both branch.json and branch.debug.json to the root of your app project and run react-native link react-native-branch (after running react-native unlink react-native-branch first if the module is already integrated).

Android

If app/src/debug/assets/branch.json exists, that configuration will be used for debug builds instead of app/src/main/assets/branch.json.

iOS

Add branch.debug.json to your project and the Copy Bundle Resources build phase(s) as discussed above. If this file is present, it will be used in debug builds instead of branch.json.

Contents

key description type
debugMode If true, setDebug will be called in the native SDK, enabling testing of install events. Boolean
appleSearchAdsDebugMode If true, setAppleSearchAdsDebugMode will be called on the iOS Branch instance. Ignored on Android. Boolean
delayInitToCheckForSearchAds If true, delayInitToCheckForSearchAds will be called on the iOS Branch instance. Ignored on Android. Boolean

Example

See branch.example.json in the root of this repo.

{
    "debugMode": true,
    "delayInitToCheckForSearchAds": true,
    "appleSearchAdsDebugMode": true
}
