React Native & Swift: best friends forever

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Shows how to embed React Native views inside a Swift app, wire data via initialProps, call Swift/Objective‑C from JavaScript with native modules, and register components into an Xcode workspace so the JS bundle and native code ship together. Covers Metro bundler, live reload and debugger workflow, and practical limits: the JS bridge adds latency and is single‑threaded so heavy animation or CPU work moves to native. Includes working demos of maps, notifications and Firebase integration.
