React Native Utils is an older native-module wrapper for a few practical iOS utilities in React Native.
The library exposed simple JavaScript methods for actions that required native code at the time, including sending SMS messages, opening the app settings screen, and checking whether the user was on a call.
What it did
- Sent SMS messages from a React Native app.
- Opened app-specific settings.
- Checked phone call state.
- Wrapped native Objective-C behavior behind a JavaScript API.
Why it matters
React Native Utils is a useful legacy project because it shows early React Native bridge work: taking native platform capabilities and exposing them to JavaScript before the ecosystem had more mature module patterns.
Current status
This package should be treated as legacy and outdated. The repository has not been actively pushed since 2018, and modern React Native projects should use current native-module and permissions patterns.
