@antoinerousseau Thanks for reporting the "Hash failed." (VHASH400) error during Bridgefy initialization. This occurs when there's a bundle ID (iOS) or application ID (Android) mismatch between your app and the API key generated at developer.bridgefy.me.

The SDK requires a valid API key created on our developer.bridgefy.me site. Each key is tied to specific identifiers:

iOS: Exact bundle ID (e.g., com.yourcompany.yourapp)
Android: Exact application ID from build.gradle

Any mismatch triggers the hash validation failure despite successful API key creation.

Quick Fix Steps

• Double-check your app's bundle ID / application ID matches the API key exactly
• Create the API key if identifiers changed
• Relaunch the app completely (full restart)

If issue persists: Call destroySession() to clear any cached state, then reinitialize

The screenshot confirms this classic identifier mismatch—following the steps above resolves it 95% of the time. Let us know if you need help verifying your specific bundle/application IDs!

I followed the readme to add the key:

But it seems there is a mismatch between the readme:
https://github.com/bridgefy/bridgefy-react-native/tree/main/example#getting-started

And the code that seems to use me.bridgefy.android.sample instead of me.bridgefy.android.example.

Please update your README accordingly.
