The episode is all about React Native highlights of the year 2021 and the industry hopes and predictions for the foreseeable future.

React Native 2021 recap and 2022 predictions

All the releases, libraries, or projects mentioned are based on Callstack experts’ responses to the following questions:  

  • What was the most groundbreaking moment for React Native in 2021?
  • Which React Native library was the most useful last year?
  • What are you looking forward to seeing in 2022 React Native-wise?

Hermes, Re.Pack, and React Navigation

What are the most common picks? The respondents bring up many good projects but mostly they point out Hermes on iOS, Re.Pack, and React Navigation! The latter one is considered the most useful library of 2021.  

Aside from the highlights of React Native 2021, Ola and Łukasz share their thoughts on New Architecture and its potential impact on React Native in 2022. They also comment on the fact that more and more companies are adopting React Native!
