Once you call connectXXXX function, I believe the discovery stops. If the connection process is interrupted and doesn't complete then you'd need to call discoverReaders again

as far as I remember

[analog rivet]

Okay. The issue is that if a reader is connected, other readers are no longer displayed as well. any idea how I can store discovered readers?

[old onyx]

You could always store it in local storage, what's the usecase?

[analog rivet]

I intend on storing them in a state hook. however, the discoverReader only returns an error object

const discoverReaders: (params: DiscoverReadersParams) => Promise<{
    error?: StripeError<CommonError>;
}>

I can use useMemo, but that is likely to cause unnecessary renders

[old onyx]

After you call discoverReaders when readers get discovered, it should updated discoveredReaders array
https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/connect-reader?terminal-sdk-platform=react-native&reader-type=bluetooth#discover-readers

    useStripeTerminal({
      didUpdateDiscoveredReaders: (readers) => {
        // After the SDK discovers a reader, your app can connect to it.
      },
    });```

[analog rivet]

Yes, which happens to get cleared up when using connectXXX

didUpdateDiscoveredReaders is no longer available

[old onyx]

how exactly are you attempting to store them before calling connectXXXX ?

I intend on storing them in a state hook. however, the discoverReader only returns an error object
do you mean discoveredReaders instead? Is there a typo in your code?

[analog rivet]

You are right. I want to store discoveredCardReaders.

The information you provided on this will do. Thank you.

Perfect
