React Native CodeGen

" summary

Claims that a TypeScript/Flow-driven CodeGen produces a React Native schema used to generate Objective C protocols and Java classes and one-to-one GSI bindings, shifting work from runtime to build time. Demonstrates concrete gains: compile-time type safety, faster startup by avoiding runtime model reflection, and safer OTA by schema comparison that blocks incompatible bundles. Shows the generated artifacts, the build flow, and whether generated bindings work end-to-end on iOS and Android.
