If you already build with React Native, VR isn’t starting over.

On Meta Horizon OS, React Native runs as a 2D experience in a spatial interface.

Your React Native app should not stop working when the internet does.

Episode 1 explains react-native-ai and on-device LLMs. No network dependency, no data leaving the device, no per-token billing. The model runs where the user is, even underground or on a plane.

TV apps often fail in familiar ways: unreadable text, broken focus, and controls that don’t respond as expected.

Our React Native TV Development Guide shows how to fix this with proper focus handling, readable UI, and screen reader support for Apple TV (VoiceOver) and Android TV (TalkBack).

So Meta Horizon OS runs Android, but without Google Mobile Services. Most React Native and Expo libraries work, but there are some exceptions.

The React Native Developer’s Guide to Meta Horizon OS shows what works, what needs Quest alternatives, and what’s unsupported.

“Apply clipping and you’re done.”

Sounds simple until you try to make CSS Clip-Path work natively in React Native.

From JS styles, through the C++ core and New Architecture, down to iOS and Android rendering, there’s a lot more going on than it seems. Learn more here ⬇️

Voltra lets you build iOS Live Activities with React.
Under the hood, it’s SwiftUI. ✨

The catch: SwiftUI “styles” are ordered transforms.
Voltra makes them deterministic, so you don’t have to care. 😎

Building v0 iOS meant running into small things in React Native that just felt… off. Instead of working around them, the team patched React Native, reported issues, and upstreamed fixes so they could work beyond just one app.

Tune in to learn how working on v0 ended up making React Native better ⬇️

Testing native modules is like verifying coffee pods.

☕ The slow way: Brewing whole pot (building a full UI)
🤷 The risky way: Just reading label (mocking the bridge)
🔎  The Harness way: Checking grounds directly (running JS tests in a real native environment)

Verify the actual flavor with Harness.

Native module testing does not have to mean heavy tooling.

This talk by @thymikee.bsky.social from @reactnativelondon.co.uk shows how React Native Harness enables testing real native behavior on devices while keeping a JavaScript and Jest-style workflow.

Voltra takes a different approach to Live Activities.

You describe the UI in JSX, ship it as data, and let SwiftUI render it natively. No fixed templates and no need to reach for Swift.

That flexibility lets you update Live Activity UI without shipping a new app version. Full story in the article.
