Extend React Native Beyond Mobile & Desktop App
summary
React Native is shown running on Smart TVs, Fire tablets, Echo screens and car systems with concrete tooling: react-native-tvos and community TV libs, a spatial-navigation package that yields 30–32% less CPU than FlatList, and recommendations to use turbo modules and the new RN architecture for concurrent rendering and Suspense. Amazon cites 200 million Fire TVs, offers AWS credits worth 10% of app store revenue for new publishers, and is funding community libraries and compatibility office hours.
