Get BB Dynamics Authorized User's Email Address in React Native App, Blackberry-Dynamics-React-Native-SDK

Question

I have integrated Blackberry Dynamics in my React Native App using the Blackberry-Dynamics-React-Native-SDK.

React Native Version - 0.63.4, BB Dynamics SDK version - 8.1

After passing through the authentication screens provided by BlackBerry Dynamics, I need the email address through which I logged in to BB Dynamics.

Is there any method to get the logged in user's email address?

---------------------------------

Tried the approach suggested by @JeffinWithYa in his answer below

Created a native module as shown below -

package com.myApp;

import com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeModule;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContext;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContextBaseJavaModule;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactMethod;
import java.util.Map;
import com.good.gd.GDAndroid;

public class BBAppConfig extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule {
   BBAppConfig(ReactApplicationContext context) {
       super(context);
   }

   @Override
    public String getName() {
        return "BBAppConfig";
    }

    @ReactMethod
    public Map<String, Object> getBBAppConfig() {
        Map<String, Object> appconfig = GDAndroid.getInstance().getApplicationConfig();
        return appconfig;
    }
}

And calling it in my code as -

const { BBAppConfig } = NativeModules;

console.log('bb module-----', BBAppConfig);

let appConfig = await BBAppConfig.getBBAppConfig();

console.log('---------bb app config----------', appConfig);

I am getting the native module, but the method returns undefined

Is there anything that I'm missing? Also I'm running my app in Simulation mode right now, could that be the issue?

There is currently no API in the React-Native Dynamics library to get the authorized user's email address.

You could accomplish this via a bridging module to the native library. For Android, you get it from the GDAppConfigKeyUserId parameter in the getApplicationConfig call.
