Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/57490 See [**RFC0894: Removing deep imports from react-native**](https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/894) This is the **big switch** to enable the Strict TypeScript API (generated types + single index entry point) by default in React Native. **Opt-in → opt-out** After this change, the main `react-native` package resolves its `"types"` entry points only to `types_generated/index.d.ts` — with no other subpaths available. The new `"react-native-legacy-deep-imports"` condition maps to legacy `types/` and `Libraries/*.d.ts` sources. **Impact limitation**: For this stage of rollout, the `"default"` condition continues to resolve to source files. Only TypeScript is affected. **How to opt out** Opposite of today's opt-in, which we will update in [the docs](https://reactnative.dev/docs/strict-typescript-api). Again, the only impact area today is **TypeScript**. ```json5 // tsconfig.json { "extends": "react-native/typescript-config", "compilerOptions": { ... "customConditions": ["react-native-legacy-deep-imports"] } } ``` **Other changes** - Drop `react-native/typescript-config/strict` entry point, update README. - Update `__typetests__`. **Rollout plan** **Target release: 0.87**. This and the contributing stack will be cherry picked for RC1. - We've conducted testing against 100+ real Expo codebases, giving us the confidence that we've reduced breaking changes enough that the vast majority of RN codebases can migrate. - The Strict API includes a number of **intentional breaking changes**, and docs have been kept up to date. - We're shipping a `/migrate-to-strict-api` skill to migrate via agents, see https://github.com/react-native-community/skills/pull/3. **What's improved since 0.80?** Since the initial opt-in launch of the Strict API in 0.80, we've been making continuous improvements over the last year to get our generated types into a widely launchable state. Most notably: - 21+ new/updated root APIs and fixes due to community feedback ([discussion](https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/discussions/893), [PRs](https://github.com/react/react-native/pulls?q=is%3Apr%20label%3A%22JS%20API%20stabilization%20(1.0)%22%20is%3Aclosed)). - Upstream encapsulation blocker in TypeScript, fixed in 6.0 (https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/53565). - Tailwind/Uniwind compatibility (`interface` types for props). - `*Instance` ref type exports for all built-in components (https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/1003). - Fixes to previously mistyped, high impact APIs, such as `Appearance`. - New subpath entry points for `asset-registry`, `setup-env`, and others. - Refinements to doc comments/type translation build. **Rollback plan** Revert this diff. IMPORTANT: We'll adopt a policy of **super-eager rollback**, if there are any unsolvable issues during the RC phase. Changelog: [General][Breaking] - React Native's default JavaScript API is now the [Strict TypeScript API](https://reactnative.dev/docs/strict-typescript-api). Use `customConditions: ["react-native-legacy-deep-imports"]` to opt out. Reviewed By: cortinico Differential Revision: D110458670 fbshipit-source-id: 4b0e0b458a5f895f783d6d936e7b11ccff2df076
React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 15.1 and Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repository, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
