RN New Architecture Support

[tastydev]

Hello,

the react native team recently shared information inside the RN 0.82 Blog that the legacy arch and therefore old native modules have been "dropped" and won't be continued from now on.

Can you give us some information about your plans to transition the react-native-insider library (and this Demo) to the new architecture?
Enterprise Products are currently kinda forced to adapt to the new architecture in the next months i.e to ensure compatibility for fixes, operating system updates and even worse coming app/google store deadlines, so it would be nice to hear about your plans!

Thanks

Hello @tastydev,
We've recently update this demo project to have that support the new architecture. I'd be appreciated if you could give it a try and let us know if any problem arises.
Best,

Hey @ozgur-useinsider ,

thanks for your response and the update, we will start migrating our App in January, so for now i can not exactly check if any functionality will break but i think all getters/setters remain working within react-native-insider >=v7.0.3 with the new architecture enabled, right?

Maybe it would be good to add migration steps into the readme for the new architecture migration inside this repository in case there is something important to know when using the insider sdk in RN New Arch Apps.

I kinda reviewed the new arch commits and found that you are not using Hermes on iOS in this demo:

ReactNativeDemo/ios/Podfile

Line 25 in cde9596

:hermes_enabled => false,

I strongly recommend using Hermes generally.

fabric is also disabled but i think the setter will be ignored anyways because RN >=0.82 enforces the new architecture, it either should be removed or just switched to true.

Best Regards
