👋 React Native 0.87 dropped this week, and it's the kind of release you actually need to read the notes for: Strict TypeScript API is now the default, SwiftPM support landed (experimental, but no more Ruby or CocoaPods), and Node 22 is the new floor. The ecosystem moved fast too, so you'll find fresh releases from Gesture Handler, Screens, Worklets, and more below.
