What shipped

Why it matters

This week brings a new release candidate with changes that can stop existing libraries from building without adjustments, so library authors should read the breaking entries before upgrading. It also fixes several rendering and input problems developers hit in text layout, native animated events and multiline TextInput, and moves iOS build checks to SwiftPM.

Post for LinkedIn

This week the v0.89.0-rc.0 release candidate shipped. Two of its entries are marked breaking: AccessibilityState selected in C++ props now keeps an unset value instead of coercing it to false, and react-native/assets-registry is removed in favor of AssetRegistry from react-native. Library authors should check both before upgrading. Elsewhere: C++ Native Animated now forwards RCTEventDispatcher observer events so native-driven Animated.event mappings work on iOS again, the deprecated Clipboard module left the public API, and responder-driven views are marked interactive on Android. On iOS, text draws with unbounded height so wrapping matches other platforms, whole-pixel text widths no longer wrap on Android, and uncontrolled multiline TextInputs expand from empty.

What shipped

Why it matters

This week focused heavily on cleanup: a long series of changes removes dead RCTBridge APIs, notifications, categories and the disabled integration-test harness as the old architecture winds down. Alongside that, several fixes make Android styling more reliable: PlatformColor theme attributes, hsl() slash and percentage alphas, and gradient parsing. Caching and build changes also reduce friction for Android release builds and iOS CI jobs.

This week in React Native: PlatformColor theme attributes that resolve to a ColorStateList now paint correctly on Android in AppCompat themes, normalizeColor accepts slash alpha in hsl() and percentage alphas, and the backgroundImage parser accepts unitless zero gradient stops. Android release bundles can skip --reset-cache so they stop wiping the shared Metro cache. C++ shadow node traits can be evaluated at compile time, and FabricUIManager lookups on Android use a borrowed global JNI reference to avoid allocation per call. Much of the week was cleanup: dead RCTBridge APIs, notifications, categories and the disabled integration-test harness were removed.
