Today we're excited to release React Native 0.84!
This release makes Hermes V1 the default JavaScript engine, bringing significant performance improvements to all React Native apps. We've also continued removing the Legacy Architecture on both iOS and Android, and are shipping precompiled iOS binaries by default.
Today we are excited to release React Native 0.83!
This release includes React 19.2, significant new features for React Native DevTools, and support for the Web Performance and Intersection Observer APIs (Canary). This is also the first React Native release with no user facing breaking changes.
Today we're excited to release React Native 0.82: the first React Native that runs entirely on the New Architecture.
This is a milestone release for React Native and we believe it's the start of a new era. In future versions we will be removing the remaining code from the Legacy Architecture to reduce install size and streamline the codebase.
In addition, 0.82 also ships with an experimental opt-in to a newer version of Hermes called Hermes V1. We’re also enabling several React features by updating the React version to 19.1.1, and shipping support for DOM Node APIs.
Today we are excited to release React Native 0.81!
This ships with support for Android 16 (API level 36) and includes a variety of other stability improvements and bugfixes, as well as experimental support for faster iOS builds using precompilation.
Today we are excited to release React Native 0.80!
This release brings the version of React we ship inside React Native to the latest stable available: 19.1.0.
We’re also shipping a series of stability improvements to our JS API: deep imports will now fire a warning and we’re offering a new opt-in Strict TypeScript API which offers types that are more accurate and safer to use.
Moreover, the Legacy Architecture of React Native is now officially frozen, and you’ll start seeing warnings for APIs that will stop working once we fully sunset the Legacy Architecture.
In React Native 0.80, we're introducing two significant changes to React Native's JavaScript API — the deprecation of deep imports, and our new Strict TypeScript API. These are part of an ongoing effort to accurately define our API and offer dependable type safety to users and frameworks.

Today we are excited to release React Native 0.79!
This release ships with performance improvements on various fronts, as well as several bugfixes. First, Metro is now faster to start thanks to deferred hashing, and has stable support for package exports. Startup time in Android will also be improved thanks to changes in the JS bundle compressions and much more.
Today we are excited to release React Native 0.78!
This release ships React 19 in React Native and some other relevant features like native support for Android Vector drawables and better brownfield integration for iOS.
Every year, the core contributors in the React Native Community get together with the React Native team to collaboratively shape the direction of this project.
Last year was no different—with small exception. We usually meet a day before React Universe Conf (formerly React Native EU) at Callstack HQ in Wrocław. In 2024, learning from past experiences, we hosted the Summit for two consecutive days, so that we can have more unstructured time together.
Today we are excited to release React Native 0.77!
This release ships several features: new styling capabilities such as support for display: contents, boxSizing, mixBlendMode, and outline-related properties to provide a more powerful layout options; Android 16KB page support to be compatible with the newer Android devices. We are also modernizing the community template by migrating it to Swift, while continuing to support and maintain compatibility with Objective-C for developers who prefer it.
