The Symbol Blockchain Community is pleased to announce the release of `expo-symbol-sdk`, a library optimized for use on managed React Native with Expo. Previously, there were hurdles to implementing cryptography on React Native, but with the release of `expo-symbol-sdk`, you can use it simply by installing it in your node.js project.

### expo-symbol-sdk

* [npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@symbol-blockchain-community/expo-symbol-sdk)
* [github repository](https://github.com/symbol-blockchain-community/expo-symbol-sdk)

### Usage Example

```shell
npm install @symbol-blockchain-community/expo-symbol-sdk
```

```javascript
import { Account, NetworkType } from '@symbol-blockchain-community/expo-symbol-sdk';

const account = Account.generateNewAccount(NetworkType.TEST_NET);
console.log(account);
```

### Use Case Assumptions

This package provides only the following functions provided by `symbol-sdk` that depend on the node.js core module:

* Key pair handling
* Transaction signing
* Message encryption and decryption

Therefore, this SDK does not include the function of creating transactions. It is intended to be used as follows:

* Use with symbol-sdk
* symbol-sdk on the server, private keys, etc. in the native application with `expo-symbol-sdk`
