Some breaking news from RN world
summary
Expo unveils Expo Universal Modules that run in bare React Native (and an experimental Flutter adapter), and React Native 0.59 ships for React 16.8 with hooks plus a new JavaScriptCore adding 64‑bit support and real performance gains. Core deprecates several modules (AsyncStorage, Image, NetInfo, Slider, Pager) and the team closes ~260 issues (670→410) while adding auto-linking native modules via Gradle/CocoaPods. Gesture Handler gains experimental web support; many bugs fixed by using reanimated+gesture-handler; a new react-native-animated-bottom-sheet hits smooth 60fps.
