And, coming later in React Native 0.83, you'll be able to profile and understand your app more intuitively, with native support for the Performance panel and Network panel in React Native DevTools.

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

Haha, yeah. Though in RN you don’t need to care about Xcode warnings. The RN team is doing a fantastic job keeping you away from any issues.
Also I’d recommend to use Expo as much as possible to reduce the amount of Xcode in your dev flow even more.

Haha, so it’s not just me! 😄
Also React Native used that shortcut for refresh until Apple started using it for recording a few years ago. But even though it’s been a while, it’s somehow still burned into my muscle memory 😅

11.86 GB – looks like video compression is doing a great job 😁

Hi Jen, welcome on board. I haven't updated the starter pack recently, but you can have a look here.
Hey React Native folks! 👋
To make things more comfortable for you here, I put together a starter pack and a feed — check them out and let me know what you think!
Starter pack: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Expo is amazing! I was actually referring to the bit about apps feeling off.

Shaders are awesome! Looks great.
Did you build this with Skia or something else?

Would love to hear what stood out to you in particular.
In my experience, it’s usually not so much about the technology itself, but more about the level of detail that went into the project.

One workaround might be to initially render the WebView with opacity: 0 for the first few ms and set it back to 1 after the flicker.
Not ideal, I know. Just thinking out loud here.

Mmhh, I remember having a similar issue a while back.
In that case, the problem was actually inside the web content: it showed a white screen until the client-side rendering kicked in and set a dark background color.

Very cool! Interesting use case.
Love that it’s become so easy to build helpful tools like this nowadays 🚀
Also great to see more 🇩🇪 people building with React Native / Expo!

We thought the same at first and also tried a light blue, which looked a bit off. The difficulty in this scenario is that the app already is very colorful already and we need something that stands out.

Also, this is probably the one time I built a feature where I used the color "tomato", which is my go-to dev and debug color.
But I liked it so much this time… I just kept it 😄
What do you think, does it look too much like a warning?

What exactly do you mean by “the build”?
Expo Go just runs the JS bundle, so there’s no native build step involved. Curious what kind of bugs you’re running into.
