This guide covers everything needed to integrate Supabase into a bare React Native project:

Installing Supabase and required polyfill packages

Setting up polyfills for Node and Web APIs

Securely persisting auth sessions using react-native-keychain

Querying data from your Supabase tables

Works with React Native 0.80+ and Supabase JS v2+ (2025)

Prerequisites

Node.js and React Native CLI installed

A Supabase account and project

A bare React Native app (not using Expo)

Step 1 — Install Supabase and Required Packages

Install the core libraries:

npm install @supabase/supabase-js react-native-get-random-values react-native-url-polyfill base-64 react-native-keychain

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

Then install iOS pods:

npx pod-install

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2 — Create Polyfills for Node-like APIs

React Native does not include Node.js globals…
