• Add new CipherLabScannerPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-cipherlab-scanner'
   project(':react-native-cipherlab-scanner').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-cipherlab-scanner/android')
   

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     implementation project(':react-native-cipherlab-scanner')
   

Usage
