Bringing the New React Native Architecture to the OSS Community
summary
Meta finishes migrating the Facebook app to the New React Native Architecture end of 2021 and now ships the OSS tools to reproduce that: Fabric plus TurboModules, codegen generates platform stubs and type-safe APIs, and a React Native Gradle plugin that moves Java/Kotlin build logic. React Native 0.68 offers a one-line opt-in for the new architecture, 0.69 bundles Hermes and enables React 18 features, and 0.70 adds unified codegen, full CMake support and Android auto-linking. Docs, sample repos with commit-by-commit migrations, and a public working group are live for library and app migrations.
