Really excited that I got the chance to write a post for the Expo blog. Thanks so much to expo for the opportunity.

This is also the first time I wrote about sharing React Native Storybook. I spent a long time to find an easy approach. (The trick is eas submit and test flight)

I saw this one time thats probably react-native-svg either not found or not loading correctly. I would try checking the rn svg version and if adjusting that doesn’t work then can you try reproducing in a fresh project and sending it to me?

In the closing panel for React Native Universe, we discuss cross-platform development with React Native. I talk about how the future of React Native Storybook will likely involve reducing dependencies for better compatibility across platforms.

Danny @dannyhw.com · Aug 21

if you have discord it might be easier to chat back and forth there you can add me, my user is dannyhw on there

Danny @dannyhw.com · Aug 21

you don't need to use the stories directory, you can put stories anywhere as long as you update the stories regex

.rnstorybook is for the storybook on the mobile device
.storybook is for the react native web storybook
