AFAIK the RN SDK doesn't support simulated readers: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-terminal-react-native/issues/439

You can - this is the guide I've been following

https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/setup-integration

using RN

https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/connect-reader

here you can specify simulated = true

That guide doesn't use the Terminal SDK

[strong kernel]

There's no mention of simulated readers there, explicitly mentions a physical reader

You can see from the GH issue I linked we're adding support, so it's likely expected that there'll be issues

As this is a beta, I'd recommend filing any issues directly on the GH repo for the team to help with

function DiscoverReadersScreen() {
const { discoverReaders, connectBluetoothReader, discoveredReaders } =
useStripeTerminal({
didUpdateDiscoveredReaders: (readers) => {
// After the SDK discovers a reader, your app can connect to it.
// Here, we're automatically connecting to the first discovered reader.
handleConnectBluetoothReader(readers[0].id);
},
});

useEffect(() => {
handleDiscoverReaders();
}, []);

const handleDiscoverReaders = async () => {
// The list of discovered readers is reported in the didUpdateDiscoveredReaders method
// within the useStripeTerminal hook.
const { error } = await discoverReaders({
discoveryMethod: 'bluetoothScan',
simulated: true,
});

if (error) {
  Alert.alert(
    'Discover readers error: ',
    `${error.code}, ${error.message}`
  );
}

};

const handleConnectBluetoothReader = async (id: string) => {
const { reader, error } = await connectBluetoothReader({
readerId: discoveredReaders[0].id,
// Since the simulated reader is not associated with a real location, we recommend
// specifying its existing mock location.
locationId: discoveredReaders[0].locationId,
});

if (error) {
  console.log('connectBluetoothReader error', error);
  return;
}

console.log('Reader connected successfully', reader);

};

return <View />;
}

this is the code directly from your guide

note:

const { error } = await discoverReaders({
discoveryMethod: 'bluetoothScan',
simulated: true,
});

Then I'd recommend filing an issue on the GH as stated. This is a beta SDK, and support is handled via that channel (we're not familiar with the SDK here yet)

like I said, I have it fully working, but when I knock out the wifi and reconnect, it keeps giving me that SDK is not connected to the Internet error
