Unlock Easier React Native Migration for Brownfield iOS Apps

This edition focuses on migrating brownfield apps to React Native and explores how 'RCTRootViewFactory' can make the transition smoother than ever.

Brownfield Integration with React Native

Migration to React Native isn't always straightforward, especially for brownfield projects. If you're integrating React Native into an existing iOS app, there's a key piece to simplify the experience: React Native's core 'RCTRootViewFactory' API.

Simplifying the Migration Process

The complexity of creating root views in brownfield apps, especially with React Native's New Architecture, has been a pain point for many. Now RCTRootViewFactory streamlines the process. It handles key variables such as:

• Whether the New Architecture is enabled
• Feature flags that impact app behavior
• Proper initialization of React Native internals

💡 This eliminates the need for extensive code refactoring and simplifies integration, setting your app up for scalable growth with the latest version of React Native.

Using RCTRootViewFactory in Your Project

We covered the entire process of brownfield integration and how to use RCTRootViewFactory in our blog. From enabling the New Architecture to creating a new SwiftUI view that contains React Native, you'll find a breakdown of everything you need to make it work seamlessly.
