SDK

React-Native

Provide environment information

Hello,
I created new Expo React Native project and trying to connect MetaMask SDK according to this documentation, but useSDK hook gives [TypeError: connect is not a function (it is undefined)] error

The problem is the same as in this issue

import 'expo-dev-client';

import React, {useCallback, useEffect} from 'react';
import {AppState, AppStateStatus, Platform, View, Text, Button} from 'react-native';

import { useSDK } from "@metamask/sdk-react"


import * as SplashScreen from 'expo-splash-screen';


SplashScreen.preventAutoHideAsync();

function App() {

    useEffect(() => {
        SplashScreen.hide()
    }, []);

    const { connect, disconnect, account, chainId, ethereum } = useSDK()

    // Connect to MetaMask
    const connectWallet = async () => {
        try {
            await connect()
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Failed to connect wallet:", error)
        }
    }

    // Handle state changes
    useEffect(() => {
        console.log(account, chainId)

        if (account && chainId) {
            // Handle account and network changes
        }
    }, [account, chainId])

    // Disconnect wallet
    const disconnectWallet = async () => {
        await disconnect()
    }

    return (
        <View style={{flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#fff'}}>
            <Text>App</Text>

            <Button title={'Connect'} onPress={connectWallet}/>
        </View>
    );
}

export default () => (
    <App/>
);

MetaMask SDK Version

0.33.0

MetaMask Mobile app Version

Development build of expo app, start it on device

Describe the Bug

useSDK hook does not provide connect property and is giving this error:
ERROR Failed to connect wallet: [TypeError: connect is not a function (it is undefined)]

Also useSDK hook doesn't have disconnect and ethereum properties

Also I tried to use sdk property of useSDK hook, but the same result:

const { sdk } = useSDK()

    // Connect to MetaMask
    const connectWallet = async () => {
        try {
            await (sdk as any).connect()
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Failed to connect wallet:", error)
        }
    }

Expected Behavior

1. useSDK hook should have connect, disconnect, ethereum properties
2. It should work as in documentation: https://docs.metamask.io/sdk/quickstart/react-native/
