@pokusew/pcsclite officially supports the following Node.js versions: **8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.x, 12.x, 13.x**.

|

### Can I use this library in my React Native app?
|
||||
|
||||
Short answer: NO
|
||||
|
||||
Explanation: **Mobile support is virtually impossible** because @pokusew/pcsclite uses **Node Native Modules**
|
||||
to access system **PC/SC API**. So the **Node.js runtime and PC/SC API** are required for @pokusew/pcsclite to run.
|
||||
That makes it possible to use it on the most of OS (Windows, macOS, Linux) **directly in Node.js**
|
||||
or in **Electron.js and NW.js** desktop apps. On the other hand, these requirements are not normally met on mobile devices.
|
||||
On top of that, React Native does not contain any Node.js runtime.
