🚀 Setup Instructions

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 20
• npm or yarn
• Android Studio
• JDK 17 (Required - not compatible with newer versions)
• Android SDK

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/hemantfsu/StapuBox-OTP-App.git
   cd StapuBox-OTP-App

2. Install dependencies

   npm install

3. Configure API Token

   Update the API token in src/constants/config.ts:

   export const API_CONFIG = {
     BASE_URL: 'https://stapubox.com/trial',
     API_TOKEN: 'your_actual_api_token_here', // Get from StapuBox
     ...
   };

4. Install JDK 17 (if not already installed)

   # On macOS using Homebrew
   brew install --cask temurin@17

🏃 Running the App

Method 1: Using Emulator (Recommended for Development)

1. Start an Android Emulator from Android Studio (AVD Manager)

2. Start Metro Bundler (in one terminal):

   npx react-native start

3. Run the app (in another terminal):

   export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17)
   export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
   export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
   npx react-native run-android

Method 2: Using Physical Device

1. Enable Developer Options on your Android phone

   • Go to Settings → About Phone
   • Tap "Build Number" 7 times
   • Go back → Developer Options → Enable "USB Debugging"

2. Connect your phone via USB and verify connection:

   $HOME/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb devices

3. Run the app:

   export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17)
   npx react-native run-android

Method 3: Install Pre-built APK

1. Download the APK from GitHub Releases

2. Install on your Android device:

   adb install app-release.apk

   Or transfer the APK to your phone and install manually.

🔨 Building APK

Debug APK (for testing):

cd android
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17)
./gradlew assembleDebug

Output: android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

Release APK (for distribution):

cd android
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17)
./gradlew assembleRelease

Output: android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

🔄 Reloading the App

• In Emulator: Press R twice quickly
• In Physical Device: Shake the device → Select "Reload"
• Or: Cmd + M (Mac) / Ctrl + M (Windows/Linux) → Select "Reload"

📡 API Integration

Endpoints Used

   Body: { "mobile": "9711231143" }
   

2. Resend OTP

   POST https://stapubox.com/trial/resendOtp?mobile=9711231143
   Headers: X-Api-Token
   

3. Verify OTP

   Headers: X-Api-Token
   

🔐 SMS Auto-Read Implementation

Android SMS Retriever API

• Automatically reads OTP from SMS without requiring READ_SMS permission
• Graceful fallback to manual entry if auto-read fails
• Listens for SMS containing 4-digit OTP
• Auto-submits when OTP is detected

How it works:

1. App requests SMS retriever to start listening
2. When SMS arrives with OTP, it's automatically extracted
3. OTP is filled in the input fields
4. Verification happens automatically after a short delay

Permissions

Required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
