This integration with AVSpeechSynthesizer brings fast, private, and offline text-to-speech to React Native, with support for multiple voices, languages, and even Personal Voice on iOS 17+. (by Mike Grabowski) - [Secure Communication Between Isolated React Native Instances](https://www.callstack.com/blog/secure-communication-between-isolated-react-native-instances) (Security, 8/20/2025): The latest release of react-native-sandbox adds support for direct, secure communication between sandboxed React Native instances. Instead of routing messages through the host app, sandboxes can now talk to each other directly using a model familiar from the web: the postMessage API with origin-based access control. (by Aliaksandr Babrykovich) - [React Native Enterprise Framework is now Rock](https://www.callstack.com/blog/react-native-enterprise-framework-is-now-rock) (Enterprise, 8/18/2025): Meet Rock: the evolution of the React Native Enterprise Framework.

Hidden obligations often live deep in transitive dependencies. license-kit visualize offers a clear, interactive map of your project’s dependency graph, complete with license details, statistics, and AI-generated summaries. Whether you’re avoiding restrictive terms or understanding how packages enter your stack, this tool gives you the visibility you need to manage licenses with confidence. (by Artur Morys-Magiera) - [On-Device Speech Transcription in React Native with Apple SpeechAnalyzer](https://www.callstack.com/blog/on-device-speech-transcription-with-apple-speechanalyzer) (AI, 8/6/2025): This post introduces speech transcription support in React Native AI, implemented using Apple’s SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber APIs available in iOS 26. It explains how to use the AI SDK’s transcribe function to pass audio buffers, how modular analysis is configured through the SpeechAnalyzer class, and how system-level asset management ensures models are handled outside the app bundle. (by Mike Grabowski) - [How Node-API Works in React Native: A Deep Dive](https://www.callstack.com/blog/how-node-api-works-in-react-native-a-deep-dive) (Cross-Platform, 8/5/2025): In this deep dive, we explain how Node-API is brought to React Native—from discovering and bundling native addons to loading them at runtime. We also walk through the design of the host system and tools that make it all work. (by Kræn Hansen) - [Running Multiple Instances of React Native in Sandbox](https://www.callstack.com/blog/running-multiple-instances-of-react-native-in-sandbox) (Super Apps, 7/31/2025): While micro-frontend architectures have revolutionized feature delivery in React Native, they don't solve the core problem of runtime isolation. This creates security and stability risks, especially when integrating code from third-party developers. This article introduces react-native-sandbox, a powerful library that allows you to run multiple, fully isolated React Native instances inside a single host application. We explore how this sandboxing approach provides true crash containment, configurable security permissions for native modules, and enables independent team delivery, paving the way for truly modular and secure super apps. (by Aliaksandr Babrykovich) - [On-Device Text Embeddings in React Native With Apple NLP Framework](https://www.callstack.com/blog/on-device-ai-introducing-apple-embeddings-in-react-native) (AI, 7/30/2025): Our React Native AI library now supports on-device text embeddings by integrating Apple's native Natural Language framework. This implementation leverages the NLContextualEmbedding model built directly into iOS. Because the model is treated as a shared operating system asset, it enables powerful semantic features without requiring developers to bundle large files or force users to perform any extra downloads. We expose this capability through our Vercel AI SDK provider, simplifying integration for React Native developers.
