capabilities, and including the code to support
all those features would impact the binary size... 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&#x27;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><h2><a class="anchor" name="here-the-few-steps-to-link-your-libraries-that-contain-native-code"></a>Here the few steps to link your libraries that contain native code <a class="hash-link" href="#here-the-few-steps-to-link-your-libraries-that-contain-native-code">#</a></h2><h3><a class="anchor" name="step-1"></a>Step 1 <a class="hash-link" href="#step-1">#</a></h3><p>If the library has native code, there must be a <code>.xcodeproj</code> file inside it&#x27;s
folder.
Drag this file to your project on Xcode (usually under the <code>Libaries</code> group
on Xcode);</p><p><img src="/react-native/img/AddToLibraries.png" alt=""></p><h3><a class="anchor" name="step-2"></a>Step 2 <a class="hash-link" href="#step-2">#</a></h3><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><img src="/react-native/img/AddToBuildPhases.png" alt=""></p><h3><a class="anchor" name="step-3"></a>Step 3 <a class="hash-link" href="#step-3">#</a></h3><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>LinkingIOS</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 notifiation is
received.</p><p>For that we need to know the library&#x27;s headers. To achieve that you have to go
to your project&#x27;s file, select <code>Build Settings</code> and search for <code>Header Search
Paths</code>. There you should include the path to you library (if it has relevant
files on subdirectories remember to make it <code>recursive</code>, like <code>React</code> on the
example).</p><p><img src="/react-native/img/AddToSearchPaths.png" alt=""></p></div><div class="docs-prevnext"><a class="docs-next" href="debugging.html#content">Next →</a></div></div></section><footer class="wrap"><div class="right">© 2015 Facebook Inc.</div></footer></div><div id="fb-root"></div><script>
