Merge with React Native #1935
Comments
Hi. We at Microsoft use React Native macOS for a variety of our products, and have lots of React Native developers within our company. I wouldn't be worried about React Native macOS staying supported, as long as React & React Native are supported :) . It would be nice to merge into the main repo, but that's not really something we have 100% control over. In the meantime, I feel we have done a pretty great job at maintaining our fork and keeping up with releases :D To get an idea of how much React Native macOS and React Native windows are used, feel free to check out some of our conference talks! |
It would make sense to me to have an initiative that would spin off React, React Native into an independent non-profit organization. Individual companies that benefit from the code could then contribute to this organization. Was something like that ever on the table, was it discussed, do you know? I understand the concern that you couldn't control it in this state. The result is a fork on the end when it could be "just" a sub-package using the unified abstraction. |
hey @landsman - thanks for raising this up. To reply to the last question: conversation of this type have happened many times between us and Meta, but macOS & Windows won't get upstreamed any time soon; Meta's focus for the react-native core GH project is still Android & iOS, as reiterated very recently in this RFC. That said, we have been having many conversations with Meta and other partners about making all the out-of-tree platforms (think macos, windows, tvos, visionos, etc etc) more consistent/aligned in how they interact with core; but there's nothing to announce on that front yet. Just know that we are actively thinking of this :) To clear the air a bit on the current status of this repo:
All of that said - I'm going to close this off because it led some other folks to believe - incorrectly - that RNmacOS is not a priority for us and that it's not in an healthy state. While there's always room to improve, I'd rather folks not get the wrong idea about the state of the project. I hope that the insights I shared will help change that a bit! :) |
Summary
Why does this have to be fork? There is no room to merge it into the main project?
Motivation
On the first view, I find it unhealthy to use this project. Is there a future? What will be BC breaks in the next months,... a lot of questions.
