But we still want to make it easy to add these features whenever you need them.</p>
<p>With that in mind we exposed many of these features as independent static libraries.</p>
<p>For most of the libs it will be as simple as dragging two files, sometimes a third step will be necessary, but no more than that.</p>
<p><em>All the libraries we ship with React Native live on the <code>Libraries</code> folder in the root of the repository. Some of them are pure JavaScript, and you only need to <code>require</code> it. Other libraries also rely on some native code, in that case you'll have to add these files to your app, otherwise the app will throw an error as soon as you try to use the library.</em></p>

<p>Install a library with native dependencies:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css bash">$ npm install &lt;library-with-native-dependencies&gt; --save
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> <code>--save</code> or <code>--save-dev</code> flag is very important for this step. React Native will link your libs based on <code>dependencies</code> and <code>devDependencies</code> in your <code>package.json</code> file.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Link your native dependencies:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css bash">$ react-native link
</code></pre>
<p>Done! All libraries with native dependencies should be successfully linked to your iOS/Android project.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> If your iOS project is using CocoaPods (contains <code>Podfile</code>) and linked library has <code>podspec</code> file, then <code>react-native link</code> will link library using Podfile. To support non-trivial Podfiles add <code># Add new pods below this line</code> comment to places where you expect pods to be added.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If the library has native code, there must be a <code>.xcodeproj</code> file inside it's folder. Drag this file to your project on Xcode (usually under the <code>Libraries</code> group on Xcode);</p>

<p>Click on your main project file (the one that represents the <code>.xcodeproj</code>) select <code>Build Phases</code> and drag the static library from the <code>Products</code> folder inside the Library you are importing to <code>Link Binary With Libraries</code></p>

<p>Not every library will need this step, what you need to consider is:</p>
<p><em>Do I need to know the contents of the library at compile time?</em></p>
<p>What that means is, are you using this library on the native side or only in JavaScript? If you are only using it in JavaScript, you are good to go!</p>
<p>This step is not necessary for libraries that we ship with React Native with the exception of <code>PushNotificationIOS</code> and <code>Linking</code>.</p>
<p>In the case of the <code>PushNotificationIOS</code> for example, you have to call a method on the library from your <code>AppDelegate</code> every time a new push notification is received.</p>
<p>For that we need to know the library's headers. To achieve that you have to go to your project's file, select <code>Build Settings</code> and search for <code>Header Search Paths</code>. There you should include the path to your library (if it has relevant files on subdirectories remember to make it <code>recursive</code>, like <code>React</code> on the example).</p>
