React Native has become an established cross-platform technology. Ten years is enough time to go through major rewrites, experience exciting milestones, and endure a few moments we’d rather forget. But what got us here won’t get us there.In this panel, we’ll reflect on the past decade of React Native and look ahead to the next ten years. With AI rapidly transforming the software and app development landscape, we’ll explore how React Native—along with the developers and intelligent agents using it—can be positioned for long-term success.
