Introduction If you haven’t upgraded to React Native 0.84 yet, you’re literally leaving free performance on the table. In early 2026, the React Native team released version 0.84 and has made Hermes V1 the default JavaScript engine for both iOS and Android. No config changes required. No migration steps. Just npx react-native...
Modern software projects grow at a fast pace with new features, hot-fixes, refactors and migration, codebases tend to accumulate dead code, unused dependencies, and files that were forgotten but are still sitting in your source code. As a project grows, most of the time unused code starts piling up. As a result it slows down the build and...
Let me be upfront with you: I was sceptical. When everyone started talking about how Gen-AI coding assistants would "10x" developer productivity, I rolled my eyes. I’ve been building React Native apps for years and I’ve seen plenty of silver bullets that turned out to be more trouble than they’re worth. But over the past twelve...
Introduction Animations are not decoration. In mobile applications, they communicate state, guide attention, and create perceived performance. If your UI drops frames, users feel it instantly. In the React Native ecosystem, React Native Reanimated has become the de-facto standard for building high-performance, gesture-driven...
How to start writing tests, which libraries to use, why they matter, and how to run them Let me be honest with you. When I first started building React Native apps, I skipped writing tests entirely. I told myself the usual things: “I’ll add them later,” “the app is too small,” “I know this code works.” Then, three...
Introduction Migrating a TV application across platforms is rarely straightforward. If you have ever built a React Native Android TV application and later heard the question: Different programming languages. Different UI systems. Different focus and navigation models. This is not a simple port, it’s a rewrite. In this...
Introduction Keeping your app users up-to-date instantly is easier than ever with Stallion, a powerful tool for Over-the-Air (OTA) updates in React Native. Forget waiting for app store approvals; push updates directly to your users with zero friction. 🙌 Why Use Stallion? ✅ Built-in Testing Framework to validate updates...
If you’re maintaining a React Native monorepo and need a repeatable, one-click iOS build pipeline, this post walks you through a production-grade Jenkins setup that: Selects environments, schemas, and configs at build time Installs dependencies (Node, Ruby/Bundler, CocoaPods) cleanly Archives and exports an IPA via...
If your React Native app suddenly refuses to launch on certain new Android devices — with cryptic messages like: “requires 16KB page size” “failed to map segment from shared object” or even a mysterious native crash before your JS code ever runs …then you’ve run head-first into Android’s 16K page size...
Introduction With the evolution of React Native, the New Architecture brings significant performance and maintainability improvements through features like TurboModules, Fabric, and C++ shared logic. Upgrading to this architecture can seem intimidating—but with the right strategy, it's achievable. In this blog, I’ll walk you...
Introduction What is Zustand? Zustand is a powerful and lightweight state-management library for React and React Native—it’s designed to be fast, minimal, and easy to use. It uses a central store with hooks-based API, eliminating boilerplate while supporting middleware, persistence, and more. Key Benefits Minimal...
React Native has gained significant attention for building mobile applications that work across platforms with a single codebase.However, as projects scale, managing component props, state types, and API integrations can become challenging. That’s where TypeScript shines. In this blog, we’ll explore how to integrate TypeScript into...
