The latest version of React Navigation now has a new unstable API to automatically navigate to the correct screen after a conditional render (e.g., if a screen was opened via a deep link, but was behind auth):

UNSTABLE_routeNamesChangeBehavior="lastUnhandled"

Support for PlatformColor, DynamicColorIOS & CSS custom properties is coming to React Navigation's theming system 💅

Currently, it only supports plain color strings. But this will enable using design system tokens defined in native code or CSS without needing to redeclare them.

It was broken for a while because the format of the stack traces had changed since the initial implementation.

This is how it looked when it was broken. Not very useful.

Do you use React Navigation devtools?

It should now display the stack trace correctly. So you can easily see where the navigation originated from.

We recently updated our testing guide with recommendations and examples. Are there any use cases that you'd like to be documented?

reactnavigation.org/docs/testing/
Guiding principles When writing tests, it's encouraged to write tests that closely resemble how users interact with your app. Keeping this in mind, here are some guiding principles to follow: Test the result, not the action: Instead of checking if a specific navigation action was called, check if the expected components are rendered after navigation. Avoid mocking React Navigation: Mocking React Navigation components can lead to tests that don't match the actual logic. Instead, use a real navigator in your tests. Following these principles will help you write tests that are more reliable and easier to maintain by avoiding testing implementation details.

The new `useRoutePath` hook in React Navigation can be used to get the path to the current route to create a shareable URL 🔗
const path = useRoutePath(); // Construct a URL using the path and app's base URL const url = new URL(path, 'https://example.com'); // Now we have a shareable URL console.log(url.href);
