Agents are no longer just writing mobile code. They're now running it, testing it and fixing it. Expo, Callstack and Shopify all showed what that looks like this week. Meanwhile, Reanimated 4.7, Worklets 0.13 and React Native 0.88 RC2 landed, and Xcode is finally moving projects to JSON.

Expo 58 beta kills pod install (experimentally), Shopify quits React Native, and React 19.3 goes stable, all in the same week. We've got 19 package releases, WWDC 2026 fallout, cloud iOS simulators for Windows, and jobs up to $1.5M. Grab a coffee; this issue is stacked with news and updates.

👋 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.
