You can now also write VR apps for Quest devices with React Native. Expo Go is now available on the Horizon Store so you can bring your apps to Horizon with the blink of an eye!

We showcased how the Instagram and Facebook VR apps have been entirely written with React Native. This allowed us to reuse much code from web, while also allowing new capabilities such as parallax effects on Instagram.

With React Native you can also reach more users on new emerging platforms. One clear example is Amazon's Vega OS, which is effectively a 'React Native Operating System'. You can now write apps for Vega OS with the tools you know and love.

React Native is also supporting several emerging AI use cases such as @vercel V0, @MistralAI Le Chat or @Replit which are written in React Native. Those apps demonstrate how React Native can reduce the time to market for new AI use cases.

Another great example of how React Native is helping achieve faster developer productivity and code sharing is HelloFresh. They’ve started migrating all of their mobile apps to React Native while keeping consistency across different brands.

React Native also supports large enterprise with code sharing, as they migrate from per platform frameworks to React Native. For example, Zalando is able to incrementally migrate their mobile app to React Native.

Apps built with React Native are also Award Winning. Last year we saw several apps built with React Native reaching the top of app stores such as: - Rise (Apple Design Awards Finalist) - Runna (App Store Best App Finalist) - Partiful (Google Play Best App 2024)

The React Native ecosystem is stronger than ever! 2,000+ libraries on 2,700+ unique contributors

This year we also moved to shipping 6 releases a year, allowing you to get new features and bug fixes more frequently than ever.

Folks are downloading react-native on npm over 4 million times a week, that 100% growth from last React Conf!

Today we also want to celebrate React Native turning 10! What started as a small hackathon project is now used by millions of developers around the globe.

Over the last decade, React Native has changed how the world builds apps. Declarative UI, Component-based architecture, Hot reload are now market standards among many other UI frameworks. We’re so looking forward to the next decade of React Native!

but it still lacks built-in support for real-time AI voice streaming (live audio in/out). It would be amazing to have first-class APIs for live microphone input, low-latency audio playback, and WebRTC integration similar to what’s possible on the web.
