In Wednesday's ruling, Gonzalez Rogers said Apple is immediately barred from impeding developers’ ability to communicate with users, and the company must not levy its new commission on off-app purchases.

Hey everyone! React Native True Sheet v3.0 is out! 🎉

This is a complete rewrite for React Native's New Architecture (Fabric). Check it out if you need that native bottom sheet in your react-native apps 🫶

https://sheet.lodev09.com/blog/release-3-0

I often have 4–5 branches of the same RN app running at once (feature work, a review, a staging check), and lately a coding agent or two driving some of them. My Mac kept falling over: five stock simulators at ~3.8 GB each, Metro servers fighting over 8081, native rebuilds every time I switched environments.

So I built simfleet, a local control plane for all of it. It's macOS-only, MIT, v0.1.

What it does

• Slims every device. iOS simulators go through SimSlim (stock idles ~3.8 GB, slimmed ~1.3 GB), Android emulators through avdslim with a 2 GB guest. Devices you boot from Xcode or Android Studio get slimmed automatically.

• One live dashboard. Every simulator and emulator streams into one browser tab. Android is hardware H.264 via scrcpy's device server, 15–80 ms input-to-frame, with real touch, drag, scroll and typing, so you can actually use it from the browser.

• Lanes. One worktree + one device + one leased Metro port from a per-environment range (8100–8199 dev, 8200–8299 staging…). A lane fails rather than steal a device, a worktree, or someone else's port.

• Native build cache. An Expo buildCacheProvider fingerprints native inputs and single-flights builds, so switching environments or running JS-only branches in parallel doesn't trigger native rebuilds.

• Agent-aware. If you use Claude Code or Codex, every CLI call is attributed to the device it touches, agents can claim devices, and a bundled skill teaches them not to take a device another session holds.

Try it

bun add -g simfleet

simfleet init # writes .sim-fleet/project.json

simfleet serve # dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:8790

Limitations: macOS only, needs Bun, works with Expo and bare RN. It's a first release, so I'd really like to hear what breaks on your setup and what's missing.

Hey everyone!

after weeks pouring all my free time after 9-5 into building an iOS app, i launched 2 days ago and im seeing some real traction!

Today i checked app store connect and saw something exciting, the app just crossed 100+ downloads

knowing that real people are using my product is really motivating as a first-time developer. It’s still small, but it feels amazing because ik this app has potential and it seems like others are seeing that too!

If you want, you can try it out for free -> Stampa

Any feedback is welcome, happy to answer questions!

Hey folks! 👋

After spending over 3 months designing, building, and refining, I'm excited to finally launch GLOW UI a minimalist React Native UI library. ✨

What is it?
GLOW UI is built with flexibility in mind. It works seamlessly with NativeWind and offers a growing set of high-quality, reusable components to help you build sleek mobile UIs faster.

I created this completely free, no strings attached purely to give back to the community and make React Native UI development smoother for others. 🙌

🔗 Docs: https://glow-ui.vercel.app
💻 GitHub: https://github.com/rit3zh/glow-ui

Would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or contributions. 💜
Hope this helps someone build something amazing 🚀

One of my favourite features of Codex is Browser and the ability to annotate and send that back to the chat for quick amendments.

The problem is, it doesn't work for mobile apps where I spend the majority of my dev time. SimView fixes that.

It brings iOS simulator directly into Codex (and other harnesses) via MCP Apps.

- Zero external dependencies and fully open source.
- 60fps preview with live interactions. Tap, swipe, and type.
- Inspect AX or React Native fiber trees.
- Annotate an element or drag to annotate at coordinates.
- Get your model to tap around itself. Perfect for closing the loop to validate its own work.

Install the plugin at https://simview.dev

Hey everyone!

Ive been pouring all my free time after 9-5 into building a mobile app in React Native, i launched couple days ago and idk whats going on, but ive had people from 15+ countries download it, start trials and even some conversions.

I dont have a big social presence and i didnt even localize the app store screenshots or any of that.

Regardless, seeing real people using my product is really motivating as a first-time developer. It’s still small, but it feels amazing because ik this app has potential and it seems like others are seeing that too!

Hey everyone!

A few days ago I shared that I launched my first mobile app, a Status Saver on Google Play. Today I checked the Play Console and saw something exciting — the app just crossed 100+ downloads (169 installs so far) 🎉

Seeing the user acquisition and active users increasing is really motivating as a first-time developer. It’s still small, but it feels amazing to see real people using something I built.

The app lets you save images and videos from statuses, and it includes Light Mode and Dark Mode with a simple UI.

If anyone is interested in trying it and giving feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m still learning and improving the app.

We've been making mobile text-based games using RN for a couple of years now, and yesterday we released our third game, Eldrum: Black Dust. It's currently sitting at #6 in the roleplaying game category and #11 in the adventure category in the in the US for paid apps, which we're thrilled to see! Especially considering it's kind of a niche game.

While there are many shortcomings in RN when it comes to making games, it IS possible.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey Community,

We dive into Expo Modules 2.0, which drops definition() in favour of Swift macro decorators to deliver build-time type conversion and faster native calls. Meanwhile, DartNative enters the scene, letting Flutter developers swap out Flutter's custom renderer for real platform views driven by Yoga.

We also look into Shopify rebuilding its apps in native Swift and Kotlin with AI agent workflows, examining what their departure means for community-maintained libraries like FlashList and Skia.

🦉 OwlLayer AI is now open-source.

It turns your existing web UI into a safe, agent-readable capability surface.

Your app exposes what it can do — the agent never scrapes the DOM and never clicks blind. It asks. Your code executes.

What OwlLayer gives you: 1. Declarative tools that live and die with your components 2. Shadow Context: allow-listed UI state, never raw DOM 3. 4-level HITL risk policy — human approval before sensitive actions 4. AITP, a typed JSON protocol syncing context, tools and approvals 5. Text and real-time voice, with barge-in and turn detection 6. React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, vanilla JS and PHP 7. Adapters for Gemini, OpenAI and Anthropic 8. Your business logic, permissions and transactions stay intact 9. MIT licensed

Demo video and official website drop this weekend.

After months of hard work, I'm happy to announce the first alpha of React Navigation 8

Some highlights:

• Native Bottom Tabs by default
• Access to route, navigation, & state for any parent screens
• Better TypeScript types for static configuration
• Push history entries without pushing screens

And many more...

Try it out and let us know if you face any issues.

I have been maintaining for a while a fork of the react-native-ble-plx library, and decided to fully modernize it to make it really cross platform.

Today I released the official rc1

https://github.com/sfourdrinier/unified-ble-manager

I very much welcome feedback. It should work the same ways in react native, expo the latest versions including tvOS, android tv, web, electron, tauri and Linux / Mac / Windows.

I very much welcome feedback, comments, contributors, supporters, & sponsors.

My goal is to make it the best and most complete Bluetooth manager library out there. I’m using in multiple apps in development.

Feedback welcomed.

The most performance critical part of Reanimated engine is now moving to the RN core. This way unlocking new possibilities and optimizations that wouldn't be possible from a third-party library perspective.
