Lightning talk from Eric Sauter

" summary

Claims React Native is awesome but sometimes sucks; attempts to build an app in 3.5 minutes using react-native init and NavigatorIOS hit real breakage: upgrading React Native to match docs breaks text inputs, forcing dives into Xcode and Objective C/Swift and iOS SDKs. A September GitHub issue stays open, npm packages exist for video / Facebook / Stripe but custom native work is inevitable, App Store submission is slow, Android support arrives months later, and contribution rather than complaint is the proposed remedy.
