In this episode, Łukasz invites Oskar and Michał to discuss their experimental journey of bringing React Native to Apple Vision Pro and visionOS. Together, they walk us through the process of bringing React Native to a new platform, with all its ups and downs.

On the one hand, we get to look at the Extended Reality market and the use cases of React Native in this space.

On the other, our hosts shed light on challenges they faced along the way, including API support, multi-window capabilities, and the unique task of building Hermes for visionOS.

The conversation also spans the complexities of project maintenance, contribution to open source, and the technical adaptations made to align with visionOS requirements.
