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.
Highlights
JavaScript deep imports deprecation

React 19.1.0

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.
Quick takeaways:
Deep imports deprecation: From 0.80, we're introducing
deprecation warnings for deep imports from the react-
native package.
Opt-in Strict TypeScript API: We are moving to from-
source TypeScript types and a new public API baseline
under TypeScript. These enable stronger and more
futureproof type accuracy, and will be a one-time
breaking change. Opt in via compilerOptions in your
project's tsconfig.json .
We'll work with the community over time to ensure that
these changes work for everyone, before enabling the
Strict TypeScript API by default in a future React Native
release.

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.

React Native 0.76 with the New Architecture by default is
now available on npm!
In the 0.76 release blog post, we shared a list of significant
changes included in this version. In this post, we provide an
overview of the New Architecture and how it shapes the
future of React Native.
The New Architecture adds full support for modern React
features, including Suspense, Transitions, automatic
batching, and useLayoutEffect . The New Architecture also
includes new Native Module and Native Component systems
that let you write type-safe code with direct access to native
interfaces without a bridge.
This release is the result of a ground-up rewrite of React
Native we’ve been working on since 2018, and we’ve taken
extra care to make the New Architecture a gradual migration
for most apps. In 2021, we created the New Architecture
Working Group to collaborate with the community on
ensuring a smooth upgrade experience for the entire React
ecosystem.
Most apps will be able to adopt React Native 0.76 with the
same level of effort as any other release. The most popular
React Native libraries already support the New Architecture.
The New Architecture also includes an automatic
interoperability layer to enable backward compatibility with
libraries targeting the old architecture.

Use a framework to
build React Native apps
June 25, 2024 · 5 min read
Nicola Corti
Software Engineer @ Meta
At React Conf, we updated our guidance on the best tool to
get started building React Native apps: a React Native
framework - a toolbox with all the necessary APIs to let you
build production-ready apps.
Using React Native frameworks, such as Expo, is now the
recommended approach to create new apps.
In this blogpost we want to walk you through what they are in
detail and what they mean for you as a React Native
developer starting a new project.
