Introducing Apex: a specialized, cost-efficient coding model for React Native.
Built by Callstack for the work our engineers do every day: building apps, fixing framework-specific issues, reviewing architecture, and shipping one codebase across platforms.
Now opening in private beta.
For a few weeks we've been building agents that are capable of understanding any app and then autonomously convert it to a React Native app.
Powered by agent-device and react-native-best-practices skills from @callstackio and some custom instructions

What does expo-router being rebuild from scratch mean?
It seems that it's a fork of @reactnavigation for now. Any secret plans to develop it in a different direction? 🤔

I've been using AI agents to iterate on a fix for an iOS React Native TextInput rendering bug overnight, using @callstack agent-device + RN Tester (the RN repo's example app) as its test loop.
The video below replays each fix attempt. 📷

Introducing Agent React DevTools.
AI agents can now inspect React apps beyond the UI:
→ Component tree and state
→ Renders and performance
→ Structured output for debugging
Works with React and React Native.

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.
The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.
This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.
Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:
• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence
If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.
Hello New York City! React Universe Conf is morphing into React Universe Summit.
New city, new format, and even sharper focus on trends emerging in React Native and AI Engineering today.
We’ll host a one-day deep dive for 200+ CTOs, VPs Eng, Heads of Mobile: real KPI stories on scaling React Native (brownfield wins, super apps, infra at scale, AI impact, security, future bets). Speakers from leading tech companies.
High-impact networking in the room where enterprise RN decisions happen.
Join us on June 23, 2026.
