Hi everyone, I have a question about the native package. My client gave me two native packages for android and ios (links below). Is there any way to use them in the ionic react app? I’m using ionic v5.9.4.

You would need to create a capacitor plugin in order to communicate with anything native and create logic to send that data back to your hybrid app.

Thanks for your advice.  
I have read the document about creating a capacitor plugin, but I’m not sure I understand. Which means I must copy all the native package files into my plugin or just copy some necessary files? Because I saw it has a lot of files.

I’m not sure what your requirements are for using the provided packages you stated. but you would need to know how native code works as well.
