🚀 Installation

npm install react-native-esim-manager

iOS Setup

Run cd ios && pod install after installation.

Android Setup

Add the following permission to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

🔧 Platform Support

• iOS: 12.0+ (eSIM installation supported)
• Android: API 28+ (Android 9.0+, opens system settings for eSIM management)

📖 API Reference

Methods

requestPermissions(): Promise<boolean>

Request required permissions (Android only). Returns true if granted.

const granted = await ReactNativeEsimManager.requestPermissions();

isEsimSupported(): Promise<boolean>

Check if the device supports eSIM functionality.

const isSupported = await ReactNativeEsimManager.isEsimSupported();

isEsimEnabled(): Promise<boolean>

Check if eSIM is currently enabled/active on the device.

const isEnabled = await ReactNativeEsimManager.isEsimEnabled();

getEsimInfo(): Promise<EsimInfo>

Get detailed eSIM information including carrier details.

const esimInfo = await ReactNativeEsimManager.getEsimInfo();

EsimInfo Interface:

interface EsimInfo {
  isEsimSupported: boolean; // Device hardware supports eSIM technology
  isEsimEnabled: boolean; // At least one eSIM profile is active/enabled
  carrierName?: string; // Name of the mobile carrier/operator (e.g., "Verizon", "AT&T")
  iccid?: string; // Integrated Circuit Card ID - unique eSIM identifier (iOS only, not implemented)
  mobileCountryCode?: string; // 3-digit country code (e.g., "310" for USA, "234" for UK)
  mobileNetworkCode?: string; // 2-3 digit network code identifying the carrier within country
}

installEsimProfile(data: EsimInstallationData): Promise<boolean>

Install an eSIM profile using activation code.

• iOS: Direct installation via system dialog
• Android: Opens system eSIM settings (activation code copied to clipboard)

const success = await ReactNativeEsimManager.installEsimProfile({
  activationCode: 'LPA:1$prod.smdp-plus.rsp.goog$ACTIVATION-CODE',
  confirmationCode: 'OPTIONAL-CONFIRMATION-CODE', // iOS only
});

EsimInstallationData Interface:

interface EsimInstallationData {
  activationCode: string; // LPA URL format: "LPA:1$server$activation-code" (required)
  confirmationCode?: string; // Additional verification code provided by carrier (iOS only, optional)
}

getCellularPlans(): Promise<CellularPlan[]>

Get list of available cellular plans on the device.

const plans = await ReactNativeEsimManager.getCellularPlans();

CellularPlan Interface:

interface CellularPlan {
  carrierName: string; // Display name of mobile carrier (e.g., "T-Mobile", "Orange")
  mobileCountryCode: string; // 3-digit ISO country code for the network
  mobileNetworkCode: string; // 2-3 digit code identifying specific carrier network
  slotId?: string; // iOS: Unique identifier for SIM slot ("0001", "0002", etc.)
  subscriptionId?: number; // Android: System-assigned subscription identifier (integer)
  isEmbedded?: boolean; // Android: true if this is an eSIM, false for physical SIM
}

💡 Usage Example

import ReactNativeEsimManager from 'react-native-esim-manager';

// Request permissions (Android)
const granted = await ReactNativeEsimManager.requestPermissions();

// Check eSIM support
const isSupported = await ReactNativeEsimManager.isEsimSupported();

// Check eSIM status
const isEnabled = await ReactNativeEsimManager.isEsimEnabled();

// Get detailed eSIM information
const esimInfo = await ReactNativeEsimManager.getEsimInfo();
console.log('Carrier:', esimInfo.carrierName);
console.log('MCC:', esimInfo.mobileCountryCode);
console.log('MNC:', esimInfo.mobileNetworkCode);

// Install eSIM profile
try {
  const success = await ReactNativeEsimManager.installEsimProfile({
    activationCode: 'LPA:1$prod.smdp-plus.rsp.goog$YOUR-ACTIVATION-CODE',
    confirmationCode: 'OPTIONAL-CODE', // iOS only
  });

  if (success) {
    console.log('eSIM installation initiated');
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Installation failed:', error.message);
}

// Get cellular plans
const plans = await ReactNativeEsimManager.getCellularPlans();
plans.forEach((plan, index) => {
  console.log(`Plan ${index + 1}:`, {
    carrier: plan.carrierName,
    mcc: plan.mobileCountryCode,
    mnc: plan.mobileNetworkCode,
    isEsim: plan.isEmbedded, // Android only
  });
});

⚠️ Error Handling

All methods return promises and may throw errors. Common error codes:

• PERMISSION_DENIED - Required permissions not granted (Android)
• ESIM_NOT_SUPPORTED - Device doesn't support eSIM
• INVALID_ACTIVATION_CODE - Invalid or missing activation code
• INSTALLATION_FAILED - eSIM installation failed
• INSTALLATION_CANCELLED - User cancelled installation (iOS)

🐛 Known Issues

Android eSIM Hardware vs Functionality

Some Android devices may report eSIM hardware support (isEsimSupported: true) but still fail to install eSIM profiles due to:

• Carrier restrictions: Some carriers disable eSIM functionality on certain device models
• Manufacturer limitations: OEMs may disable eSIM features in specific regions or variants
• Firmware restrictions: Device firmware may block eSIM installation despite hardware support

If installation fails on a "supported" device, the library will fall back to opening system settings where users can attempt manual installation.

React Native 0.81.0 Compatibility

If you encounter the error react-refresh-runtime.development.js not found, add the missing dependency:

npm install react-refresh@^0.14.0

This is a known issue with React Native 0.81.0 where the react-refresh package is not automatically included in the dependencies.
