@coinflowlabs/react-native-fraud

Coinflow fraud protection for React Native. A thin bridge over Coinflow's native iOS and Android fraud SDKs that returns a single opaque header to attach to Coinflow API calls.

Install

npm install @coinflowlabs/react-native-fraud

Usage

Wrap your app root so protection boots once:

import {CoinflowProtectionProvider} from '@coinflowlabs/react-native-fraud';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <CoinflowProtectionProvider merchantId={merchantId} env="prod"> {/* 'prod' | 'sandbox' */}
      <RootNavigator />
    </CoinflowProtectionProvider>
  );
}

At charge time, attach the single opaque header:

import {useCoinflowFraudHeaders} from '@coinflowlabs/react-native-fraud';

const getFraudHeaders = useCoinflowFraudHeaders();
const res = await fetch(chargeUrl, {headers: {...(await getFraudHeaders()), ...auth}});
// => {'x-device-id': '<opaque value>'}

Or imperatively via CoinflowFraud.initialize({merchantId, env}) and CoinflowFraud.getPurchaseHeaders().

Changing merchantId or env on CoinflowProtectionProvider re-initializes with the new config. When you call the API imperatively, switch config with CoinflowFraud.initialize({merchantId, env, force: true}). A non-forced call with a different config is ignored.

Neither call ever throws. When the native module isn't linked (Expo Go, web), getPurchaseHeaders() returns {}.

Native setup

The package autolinks a native module that wraps the native SDKs: the CoinflowFraud pod on iOS and cash.coinflow:coinflow-fraud on Android.

• Expo: add "@coinflowlabs/react-native-fraud" to plugins in your app config. The plugin makes these changes:
  • It points your Podfile at the iOS SDK, which isn't on CocoaPods trunk.
  • It lifts the session provider's pods to iOS 15.1, because they declare 14.0, which current Xcode rejects.
  • On Android, it adds the signal SDKs' Maven repos to your app's android/build.gradle. npx expo run:android needs this because it builds with --configure-on-demand.
• Bare React Native (iOS): add this line to your Podfile target:

  pod 'CoinflowFraud', :git => 'https://github.com/coinflow-labs-us/coinflow-swift-fraud.git', :tag => 'v0.2.1'
  

  Then add this at the top of your post_install do |installer| block:

  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |build_config|
      next unless build_config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'].to_f < 15.1
      build_config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '15.1'
    end
  end
  

  iOS builds need Xcode 26 or later.
• Android: usually nothing to configure, because the module adds the signal SDKs' Maven repos itself. Apps that centralize repositories in settings.gradle through dependencyResolutionManagement { repositoriesMode … } are the exception. With FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS the build fails, and with PREFER_SETTINGS the repos are ignored. Those apps add Coinflow's cash.coinflow.fraud.repositories settings plugin to the existing pluginManagement and plugins blocks in android/settings.gradle. It adds the repos in settings, and the module then declares no repositories of its own, so both modes build. The plugin is on Maven Central, so pluginManagement must list mavenCentral():

  pluginManagement {
    repositories {
      gradlePluginPortal()
      mavenCentral()
    }
  }
  
  plugins {
    id("cash.coinflow.fraud.repositories") version "0.1.1"
  }
  

Example app

example/ is a minimal Expo app that wraps its root in CoinflowProtectionProvider and attaches the x-device-id header to a request. It installs this package from npm.

cd example
cp example.env .env
npm install
npx expo run:ios   # or: npx expo run:android

Layout

• src/ is the JS API, a fail-open wrapper around the native module.
• ios/ is the Swift bridge to the CoinflowFraud pod (lib/swift-fraud).
• android/ is the Kotlin bridge to cash.coinflow:coinflow-fraud (lib/android-fraud).
• app.plugin.js is the Expo config plugin. Inside the Coinflow monorepo, the testbench passes {"localSdkRoot": "../../.."}. With it, iOS builds the pod from lib/swift-fraud and Android resolves the SDK from mavenLocal(), so first run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal in lib/android-fraud.
