React Native: 2022 & Beyond

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Roadmap for React Native upgrades and why they matter: React Native moves off the single-threaded JSON bridge toward JSI direct access, replacing serialization with synchronous native calls for smoother animations and charts, and adopting a shared C++ core to avoid duplicate Swift/Java code. Expect Hermes bytecode, TurboModules with lazy loading, Fabric immutable UI layers, and TypeScript-driven codegen. Features land progressively (flags in 0.67–0.68, full React 18 support targeted for 0.69).
