Publish Date: Jun 19
8 1

React Native 0.80 is more than just an update—it's a turning point. From freezing the Legacy Architecture to TypeScript enhancements, native radial gradients, and smaller APKs, this release sets the tone for the future of mobile development.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

✅ React 19.1 integration: Supercharged debugging with Owner Stacks
✅ 12% faster iOS builds and ~1MB smaller Android APKs
✅ Deep import deprecations: The API surface is getting cleaner
✅ Strict TypeScript API (opt-in): Catch more bugs before production
✅ Accessibility wins & Visual improvements (radial gradients, modern CSS color formats)
✅ JSC support dropped – Hermes is now the default engine

This release isn’t just about new features—it's about rethinking how we build mobile apps.
