React Native New Architecture Support — Fabric & TurboModules OTA Updates
React Native's New Architecture (Fabric and TurboModules) represents the future of React Native development. React Native Stallion provides full support for the New Architecture, making it the best CodePush alternative for teams using React Native 0.76+ and migrating to Fabric and TurboModules.
Unlike CodePush, which has limited New Architecture support and is in maintenance mode, React Native Stallion offers comprehensive support for all New Architecture features while maintaining CodePush SDK compatibility for easy migration.
What is React Native New Architecture?
React Native's New Architecture consists of two main components:
Fabric (New Renderer)
Fabric is React Native's new rendering system that provides synchronous rendering, better performance, and improved interoperability with native views. It enables concurrent rendering and better memory management.
TurboModules
TurboModules is the new native module system that provides type-safe, lazy-loaded native modules. It improves startup time, enables better code splitting, and provides stronger type safety between JavaScript and native code.
React Native Stallion New Architecture Support
React Native Stallion provides comprehensive support for React Native's New Architecture:
Full Fabric Support
React Native Stallion works seamlessly with Fabric, React Native's new rendering system. OTA updates are compatible with Fabric's synchronous rendering and concurrent features, ensuring smooth update experiences.
TurboModules Compatibility
React Native Stallion is fully compatible with TurboModules, supporting type-safe native modules and lazy loading. OTA updates work correctly with TurboModules' improved startup time and code splitting capabilities.
React Native 0.76+ Support
React Native Stallion supports React Native 0.76 and above, including the latest versions with full New Architecture implementation. Regular updates ensure compatibility with the latest React Native releases.
CodePush SDK Compatibility
React Native Stallion maintains CodePush SDK compatibility, making it easy to migrate from CodePush to React Native Stallion even when using New Architecture. The API patterns are familiar, reducing migration effort.
CodePush New Architecture Limitations
CodePush has significant limitations when it comes to React Native's New Architecture:
- Limited Support: CodePush has limited New Architecture support and requires workarounds for many New Architecture features
- Maintenance Mode: CodePush is effectively deprecated and in maintenance mode, with minimal updates for New Architecture compatibility
- No Active Development: CodePush is not actively being developed to support the latest React Native New Architecture features
- Compatibility Issues: Teams using New Architecture often encounter compatibility issues with CodePush that require custom fixes
React Native Stallion provides active, comprehensive support for New Architecture, with regular updates ensuring compatibility with the latest React Native releases and New Architecture features.
Benefits of React Native Stallion for New Architecture
Future-Proof
React Native Stallion is actively developed with full New Architecture support, ensuring your OTA update solution remains compatible as React Native evolves.
Patch Updates
Unlike CodePush, React Native Stallion supports patch updates (90-98% smaller) even with New Architecture, providing faster, more efficient OTA updates.
Active Development
Regular updates ensure compatibility with the latest React Native versions and New Architecture features, unlike CodePush which is in maintenance mode.
Easy Migration
CodePush SDK compatibility makes migration straightforward, even when using New Architecture. Familiar API patterns reduce migration effort.
Migrating from CodePush to React Native Stallion with New Architecture
If you're using CodePush with React Native New Architecture and want to migrate to React Native Stallion, the process is straightforward:
- Install React Native Stallion SDK: Replace CodePush SDK with React Native Stallion SDK in your React Native project
- Update Configuration: Configure React Native Stallion with your project credentials (similar to CodePush configuration)
- Update API Calls: Replace CodePush API calls with React Native Stallion API calls (API patterns are similar)
- Test with New Architecture: Verify OTA updates work correctly with Fabric and TurboModules enabled
- Deploy: Publish your first bundle using React Native Stallion CLI
