Changes

package.json

• Upgraded @maniac-tech/react-native-expo-read-sms: 8.0.2-alpha → ^9.1.2
• Upgraded expo: ^51.0.0 → ~54.0.0
• Upgraded react-native: 0.74.3 → 0.81.5
• Upgraded react: 18.2.0 → 19.1.0 (RN 0.81 requires ^19.1.0)
• Added babel-preset-expo: ~54.0.10 — must now be declared explicitly (no longer bundled transitively from SDK 54)
• Added expo-asset: ~12.0.12 — explicit dep required for autolinking to register the ExpoAsset native module
• Upgraded expo-splash-screen: ~0.27.5 → ~31.0.13
• Upgraded expo-status-bar: ~1.12.1 → ~3.0.9
• Upgraded expo-build-properties: ~0.12.3 → ~1.0.10
• Removed: expo-dev-client — not required for library verification; app builds and runs fine without the dev menu overlay
• Removed: react-native-paper, react-native-web, react-dom, expo-updates
• Renamed package: exporeadsms-test → expo-read-sms-test-app

app.json

• Added explicit sdkVersion: "54.0.0"
• Fixed android.permissions — now correctly declares RECEIVE_SMS and READ_SMS (was empty [])
• compileSdkVersion / targetSdkVersion: 34 → 35
• minSdkVersion: 23 → 24 (RN 0.81 dropped Android 6 / API 23 support)
• Added expo-asset config plugin entry
• Removed OTA updates config (expo-updates plugin, runtimeVersion, extra.eas)
• Removed iOS and web targets (Android-only test app)

App.js

• Full rewrite: replaced react-native-paper UI with a minimal plain React Native UI
• Directly calls all four library APIs and logs results on-screen:
  • checkIfHasSMSPermission() — displays both permission flags
  • requestReadSMSPermission() — triggers system dialog, then re-checks status
  • startReadSMS(callback) — starts listener; logs received SMS body
  • stopReadSMS() — stops listener; confirms via log
• Removed useApp hook dependency (previously coupled to old UI)

Build Issues Encountered & Resolved

Error	Root cause	Fix
ReactNativeApplicationEntryPoint / loadReactNative unresolved	android/ was prebuilt with RN 0.81 template but package.json had RN 0.79	Upgrade react-native: 0.79.6 → 0.81.5
react@"^19.1.0" peer dep conflict	RN 0.81 requires React 19.1 (not 19.0)	react: 19.0.0 → 19.1.0
Cannot find module 'babel-preset-expo'	No longer bundled transitively from SDK 54	Add babel-preset-expo: ~54.0.10 as explicit dep

Verification Checklist

• App builds without errors (npx expo prebuild + npx expo run:android succeed)
• App launches on device/emulator
• checkIfHasSMSPermission() — returns correct { hasReadSmsPermission, hasReceiveSmsPermission } object
• requestReadSMSPermission() — system dialog appears; returns true when granted
• startReadSMS(callback) — starts without error; callback fires with status === "success"
• Incoming SMS received — callback delivers correct [phoneNumber, messageBody] values
• stopReadSMS() — stops listener; no further callbacks after stopping
• No NativeEventEmitter warnings in console
