stripe-react-native VS stripe-android

What is your purpose with the action of opening the payment window? Do you just want to show the cards, or is the user buying a product, or is it for something in the app? The react-native-payment has not seen any updates the past 2 years… I would skip this package for usage. You could use something like https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native if you like to use stripe as a payment provider. Or for in app purchases I use https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap So it depends on want you want to accomplish and what kind of payment provider you want to use. Good luck 💪🏽

Example (from stripe github fficial documentation) for Styles.xml: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/tree/518593e5a64da9e5b7385690a53c9d0cd7395261/android/src/main/res

Stripe React Native: version 0.19 was released, which contains breaking changes required to fit updated brand guidelines from Google for Google Pay and moves the minimum compileSdkVersion to v33.

Stripe React Native: Versions 0.15.0 - 0.18.1 were published this month and include a breaking change: Your compileSdkVersion for android/build.gradle must be set to greater than version 32. There are also updates to confirmPayment, several bug fixes, and the inclusion of Link on PaymentSheet for iOS.

Stripe React Native v0.15.0–0.16.0: Two new releases to our React Native library this month include support for dark mode on the GooglePayButton and CardForm components. These updates also introduced several breaking changes from previous versions.

Stripe React Native v0.12.0–0.14.1: This has been added in the canAddCardToWallet method, for use with Stripe Issuing in combination with Apple and Google Pay wallets. This set of releases also allows devs to set the default country for both the CardField and CardForm components, and includes several bug fixes.

This is an issue that I opened yesterday. I’ve attached my code over here.

We do have a first-party react native library here: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native. Anything specific with it, you'd like to see improved?

Stripe React Native SDK: The official Stripe React Native SDK is now in public beta to help you build delightful payment experiences using React Native. Watch our video guides on adding the SDK to a React Native app and accepting a payment.

"I haven't seen excitement around any product and ecosystem launched since 2018 except flutter and Firebase."

Hard disagree, lol. Android Jetpack was launched in 2018. It was basically the second generation of Android development, it was a proper "tech stack" instead of everyone cobbling together third party libraries. Architectures switched over to the one true MVVM, instead of being this mess of MVC, MVP, etc.

Jetpack Compose is pretty amazing, it cut down our LOC by about half because we don't need adapters for every list. Kotlin coroutines & flow is nice. You get reactive programming, no more complex nested if/else conditions. We're not using Fragments or Activities much now either, navigation is via Compose, meaning DI is less necessary. So builds can be much faster too with a 2023 stack, and you can get UI changes rendered in the emulator immediately without even needing to update the build.

Here's a modern stack I made, should be able to spin up an app in an hour, and it shouldn't be too hard to read the code: https://github.com/smuzani/android-minimalist-template

Or if you want something production, Stripe's code is one of my favorites: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android

Jetpack has some dark moments though, but that's a story for another day.

Ha! I hope not! You can look up my name as a maintainer in the android SDK here: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/blob/master/.github/CODEOWNERS and my linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaynewstrom/

Stripe Android SDK: Android SDK versions 20.7.0-20.11.0 were released this month and contain updates and fixes for functionality related to PaymentSheet and Identity.

Stripe Android SDK v20.6.2: Android SDK version 20.6.2 contains several bug fixes for Payments, reduces the size of StripeCardScan, and adds new rememberFinancialConnections features for Financial Connections.

Hi everyone - I'm on the Stripe Mobile SDK team and would love this community's feedback on what you would love to see us improve, namely in stripe-android. Would love to hear things that would make you say "Finally!", would have saved you several hours/days, or even little annoyances. No idea is too farfetched!

The Stripe Android SDK now supports SetupIntents with Google Pay. Use the multipayment UI to gain these features in v17.1.2.

Stripe Android SDK version 17.0.0 and 17.1.0: Android version 17.0.0 introduces GooglePayLauncher and GooglePayPaymentMethodLauncher to simplify Google Pay integration, and version 17.1.0 adds support for WeChat pay. Read more in the release notes.

Android SDK update: The latest version of the Stripe Android SDK (16.5.0) now supports Kotlin coroutines.
