Live stream from Day 1
summary
Yearly state-of-the-union for React Native lands hard: Hermes becomes default in RN 0.84, Reanimated 4 + worklets extracted ships with CSS‑style animations and bundle mode for UI‑thread code, and Expo SDK56 brings Hermes v1, widget/live‑activity support and faster builds. Demos show TypeGPU/WebGPU running camera textures and GPU shaders on iOS/Android, React Native executors running on‑device LLM/vision models, Argent for agentic app iteration, SimCam for simulator camera testing, and a Particle autopilot release pipeline that uses date‑versioning. Native tabs, teleport/reparenting for seamless transitions
