Using the mobile-payments-sdk-react-native package the issue is that on android we dont see the Tap-To-Pay option available. Just the “ **Connect hardware to take card payments** ”. > **[mobile-payments-sdk-react-native/docs at main ·...](https://github.com/square/mobile-payments-sdk-react-native/tree/main/docs#step-1-install-react-native-plugin-for-mobile-payments-sdk)** > > Mobile Payments SDK React Native Plug-in. Contribute to square/mobile-payments-sdk-react-native development by creating an account on GitHub. Showing the settings screen shows images attached. On iOS we can see clearly that it has tap to pay enabled. Using versions- “mobile-payments-sdk-react-native”: “2025.6.2”, “react-native”: “0.76.9” and # Square Mobile Payments SDK version **squareSdkVersion=2.3.0** - Authorization flow is good - Locations are valid - Device not in developer mode - SHA-256 certificate is in place - Running in production not sandbox - **Square POS app is able to take tap-to-pay payments on the same device** - Bluetooth connect/scan, record audio, read phone state, and fine location are enabled. Running showReaders() responds with and empty array also. Interesting to note - unrelated - , after installing the Square POS app the showSettings() function throws an exception. even when the POS app is not running in foreground and settings is not open. ![Screenshot 2025-09-12 120954](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/square/original/2X/3/397979fdc347ddd5a5030b76c486acef59f54ad1.png) ![Screenshot 2025-09-12 120904](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/square/original/2X/4/4b56041583f9511b605e4c2d4576151e7ef5ac43.png) ---

Have you tried to update to 2.3.1 to see if that resolves the issue? 🙂 ---

Hi Bryan, Yep, i did the update and still no joy ☹ Unsure if this will help to further diagnose, but was also interesting was that on initial load, of the app, then authorizing with token and location, I would get a success and AUTHORIZED response. calling **getAuthorizationState** (); returned authorized. But when calling await **getAuthorizedLocation** (); we get null in the response fields. * * * But, if we load app, call **deauthorize** (); then **authorize** () with the same token and location, we then get a successful **getAuthorizedLocation** () response. {name, mcc, currencyCode, id} The setting screen will now show up with “pair a card reader” (it did not before) it just said “an error occured” However after this small win, it still has not got the “Tap To Pay” option.
