react-native-upi-app-detector

Detect which specific popular UPI payment apps are installed on Android and iOS devices. This library is pre-configured to detect PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM, and CRED.

Installation

npm install react-native-upi-app-detector

Configuration

Expo (Recommended)

If you are using Expo, simply add the plugin to your app.json or app.config.js. The plugin automatically handles the required LSApplicationQueriesSchemes for iOS.

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": ["react-native-upi-app-detector"]
  }
}

iOS (Bare React Native)

You must add the UPI app schemes to your Info.plist inside the <dict> block to allow querying for installed apps:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
  <string>phonepe</string>
  <string>tez</string>
  <string>paytmmp</string>
  <string>bhim</string>
  <string>credpay</string>
</array>

Android

No manual configuration is required. The library automatically merges the necessary <queries> into your AndroidManifest.xml.

Usage

import { getUPIApps } from 'react-native-upi-app-detector';
import type { UPIAppResult } from 'react-native-upi-app-detector';

// ...

const checkApps = async () => {
  const apps: UPIAppResult[] = await getUPIApps();

  apps.forEach((app) => {
    if (app.isPresent) {
      console.log(`${app.appName} is installed!`);
    }
  });
};
