React Native Panel & Q&A
summary
Four large companies report concrete wins and pains running React Native at scale: Shopify migrates all main apps since 2020, Microsoft embeds RN into Windows and cuts delivery time for JS bundles from over a month to about ten minutes, Coinbase speeds dev loops by caching native builds, and Meta pushes a new architecture with compatibility shims in 0.72/0.73. Biggest obstacles are culture and multiple RN versions across repos, solved by shared SDKs, invest in native expertise, and tooling like CodePush for over-the-air updates and Expo for fast prototyping.
