I'm developing an application in React Native for iOS and I'm using Twilio to send a text message (SMS).
To use Twilio I added 2 nodes: Util and Crypto.
In my app, I only added react-native-ble-manager over util, twilio, crypto, and the basic nodes.
Adding the last node Crypto, when I include Twilio in the code, I get an error:

Can you help me?

The Twilio Node.js library is not intended to be used in client side applications. That would require you to store or retrieve your account credentials within the app, which would make them available for a malicious user to steal and use.
Instead, we recommend you set up a server that can perform the API requests and you make calls to that server from your application. Here's how we recommend you do that with Swift on iOS for example. We don't have an example for React Native, but as long as you can make a request to your own server from the application, then that's what you need to do.

As part of a school project I am working on, I am trying to build a messaging app that utilizes SMS as the default method for sending and receiving SMS without redirecting to the default SMS Messaging App of the device (ie sending/receiving an SMS for my app without redirecting to the Messages app on the iPhone). but I haven't found anything that can be used to achieve this.
PS: One of the requirements of the projects is not using any external library, except for the things provided with Expo,
You will have to use an external library. That feature isnt build in react Native
One external Library would be "https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-sms"
The only option you have if you really dont want to use external librarys is, to write your own function, which communicates with the native API
I am building a React Native application for calling using RingCentral APIs.First of all I tried using the webphone RTC via web browser: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-web-phone. It works perfectly fine in web browsers. But the thing I need is to call via react-native application I am building.
I tried calling via RingCentral using 'ring out call' POST API and 'call control- make callout' post api(beta version).But the problem i am facing is when i integrate these apis to react-native applications : To have a two way communication I need to be online in the web phone .Then when i call from react native it goes to the web phone first.And then when I dial 'answer' it redirects to the number i want to call to.Then only I can have a two-way communication.
So, what do I do if I want to directly call via react-native application to the recipient directly?
P.s. If I am not online in the web phone from browser the call automatically goes to the voicemail.
So hard to understand your question from the title and the detailed description.
I guessed that you want to implement a functional phone using react native where you want to use the RingCentral WebRTC SDK to handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
First of all, please mind the browser compatibility supported by the WebPhone SDK. Secondly, it is not trivial and I cannot support you on the react-native part. However, RingCentral provides an easy way to embed a RingCentral embeddable phone to any webpage and that app is an open source project. You can use the embeddable as such or clone the project and learn from the code or modify it to meet your requirements.

I have been researching for many days on how to send sms using Twilio in React-Native. I haven't found a single example that works! I thought this should be simple but apparently not.
Any suggestions?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
While not ReactNative, I wrote a post about how to send SMS messages in React. The idea for ReactNative will be the same though. You don't want to make requests to the Twilio API directly from your application, you'd need to store your credentials in the app somehow and a malicious user could decompile it and abuse your account.
Instead you want to build a server application that sends the messages and make requests to that from your ReactNative application.
Let me know if that helps at all.
As documented in the link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.apiref.doc/html/refjavascript-client/html/WL.Device.html , The WL.Device class in MFP JavaScript client API has methods setFriendlyName/getFriendlyName for setting/getting friendly name to/from MFP server.
However these to methods are not there in the MFP iOS/Android native API (i.e. class WLDevice in both platforms).
So, is there any way I can set friendly name using iOS/Android native API?
No, setting friendly name is only included in JavaScript. You could always make a portion of your app Web and set the friendly name there and run the rest of your app in Native.
If you want this to be a native API you may submit a feature request: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=submitRfe
I am hosting my parse server on Heroku. Before migrating my parse.com account, I used the webhooks feature of parse to process billing events from Stripe using the URL http:KEY#api.parse.com/1/functions/stripEvents in strip's webhooks.
I have installed the node Stripe module as per the instructions of the migration steps.
My understanding is that api calls are no longer supported in the parse server platform. How would I route/send posts sent from Stripe to a function inside the new parse server platform?
Thanks
I stand corrected, it does work.
www.your_app_name.herokuapp.com/path/functions/yourFunctionName is the URL to access a cloud function. You do however need to add the needed security keys. In the case of stripe you past this URL:
https://MASTER_KEY:javascript-key=JAVASCRIPT_KEY#your_app_name.herokuapp.com/v1/functions/FUNCTION_NAME
note that I mount my parse app on path V1.
