🚀 MercadoPago PX bridge for react-native

A React Native bridge wrapping MercadoPago's native PX checkout SDK for Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift/ObjC). Gives Latin American apps a native checkout UI instead of a WebView. Niche but useful if you're building for markets where MercadoPago is the dominant payment rail.

Uses the actual native PX SDK rather than a WebView wrapper, so you get native performance and MercadoPago's built-in fraud/biometric flows. Kotlin on Android and Swift on iOS — no legacy Java glue code. Ships a working example app with product card components, not just a hello-world. Docusaurus docs site with i18n (EN/ES) is unusually thorough for a 100-star repo.

Last commit was March 2023 — React Native has shipped breaking changes since then and the New Architecture (JSI/TurboModules) isn't supported, so this will cause pain on RN 0.73+. MercadoPago's own SDK versions are pinned and likely stale, which is a security concern for a payments library. The iOS side is a thin ObjC bridge calling Swift calling the SDK — any API change in the underlying MP SDK requires digging through three files. No automated tests anywhere in the repo.
