  1. React Native 0.64.2 Released! Discover What's New in it & How to Upgrade It? Discover what’s new in this latest version of React Native and how you can upgrade your apps to it. React Native has launched its most advanced version in the market. Now we have React Native 0.64.2. Developers placed high expectations on it. It has launched in March 2021 amid much fanfare and speculation. The new release has brought some exciting new features, and it will benefit the entire developer community, especially iOS developers; they have hotly anticipated Hermes’ launch on the platform. Let’s find out the changes that have arrived with React Native 0.64.2. What are the Latest Updates in React Native 0.64.2?

  2. Hermes support for iOS Hermes, an open-source new javascript engine optimized for React-Native, improves the app startup time (it was a huge problem earlier with react native applications). In addition, it decreases memory usage, reduces the app's downloading size, and cuts down the time to become usable or time to interactive (TTI). Earlier, Hermes was made available with RN version 0.60.4 only for the android platform. Now the latest version, 0.64.2, has brought support to the IOS platform. As the React Native ecosystem has developed, programmers have encountered challenges related to the production of large-scale applications. For example, huge bundle size, excessive phone memory usage, and increased interaction time, to name a few issues, can result in a bad user experience. Facebook engineers designed Hermes as a lightweight solution to these problems. However, before React Native 0.64, the iOS developer faced an uphill battle when maintaining the same level of quality. The addition of Hermes on iOS helps React Native apps perform better, makes them more lightweight, plus decreases interaction time on iOS platforms. In addition, it should incentivize the React Native community to contribute further toward the growth of Hermes and the platform in general.

These Android APIs provide low usage in mobile devices now. Though, Facebook has claimed this too with confidence that the app usage is low in Android devices. The new React Native version needs Xcode version 12 and CocoaPods version 1.10.0. The minimum node version support has also shifted from 10 to 12. According to the best React Native developers in the world, Flipper is a great tool. It comes by default with React Native. Though I have not used it, just sharing with you the developer’s experience. New JSX Transforms

  3. JSX transform is essential as the apps rely on Babel, Typescript for transforming JSX code to regular JS code. Now, you don’t have to import React for using JSX in the code; it will occur by default. This support was included in React version 17. There is Proxy Support to Hermes React Native 0.64 has also brought proxy support to Hermes. This support provides compatibility with the community’s popular projects, like React Native Firebase and MobX. If you were using these packages earlier, now you can migrate your project to Hermes. The RN plans to make Hermes the default JavaScript engine for Android in an upcoming release. Therefore, if you encounter an issue when using Hermes in your React Native projects, you should report it.

Inline requires a Metro configuration option and it will help with startup time as it will enable JS modules only when and where they are needed. Traditionally, JavaScript modules’ execution begins at startup. This feature has lasted for a few years as an opt-in configuration option. Earlier developers have to import the module at the top of the code file, but now you can directly do it on the line where it’s required. It will help you develop fast-performing mobile apps with no extra configuration. Take a look at the coding example: Before

  4. After What Should You Consider Before Shifting Your Running Project to Hermes? Before switching an existing project to Hermes, you have to ensure that you upgrade the project to use React Native 0.64. For enabling Hermes on iOS, set hermes_enabled to true in your podfile and run pod install. It’s worth noting that Hermes support is still in its initial stage in iOS. Again, though, we can expect more improvement and support in the coming days. To enable Hermes on the Android platform, add enableHermes: true to your android/app/build.gradle file.

This feature isn’t entirely new, though helpful because you can already profile your React Native app running on Hermes. But this new command, you can change a Hermes tracing profile to a Chrome tracing profile plus pull it to the local machine: How to Upgrade to React Native 0.64.2?

  5. Updating your React Native application is a bit tricky. Many dependencies are there; sometimes core native files change like AndroidManifest etc. At PixelCrayons, we are using React Native Upgrade Helper for upgrading any React Native projects with excellent results.
