Building React for Reality Labs at Meta

[React Native @reactnative]

Last week, Meta released brand-new Instagram and Facebook apps for Meta Quest, completely rebuilt using React and React Native.

Check out how these apps, and more, were built with React and highlighted at Meta Connect:

@Baconbrix Any reason we shouldn’t put this in React Native core? 😁

[Pieter De Baets @Javache]

@tmikov We have something like that internally, useful for things like testing TurboModules, will send you a pointer!

[Pieter De Baets @Javache]

@SzymonRybczak React and Relay already power many of our virtual reality experiences!

@nishanbende @jacobp100 Well done to you both for sticking with it through the process. Thank you for contributing!

@mrousavy 👋 I made that change! This enables us to do exception matching without needing to rely on dynamic_cast (exception catching requires just a subset of RTTI).

@geofftech Great bumping into you this morning! Now to figure out fastest route to work (KX), change at Farringdon or Liverpool Street?

As new devices are invented, we want React Native to be there for everyone. Today we're sharing our updated many-platform vision:

@yungsters @wongmjane @reactnative There were actually some really interesting experiments in terms of React+3D back when our team built Oculus Rooms https://t.co/gT33F5xH2C

@tmeire_ Give me a ping with the details and I'll see what I can do.

@spikebrehm Are you calling that from a native module? How are you accessing it? (Feel free to ping me over Messenger, faster than Twitter)

[Pieter De Baets @Javache]

@spikebrehm RCTLogError should do the trick, it shows redboxes but doesn’t fatal. Otherwise use RCTFatal.

Een kaartje helemaal tot in Londen? Merci @sumocoders!

Great question for #reactnative upgrade “are you gonna continue doing the dumb thing?” #reactamsterdam
