What This Article Covers
Developers building spatial computing applications for Apple Vision Pro had to learn Swift and visionOS-specific APIs. These tools worked very differently from standard mobile development, which made the transition difficult.
Callstack extended React Native to work with visionOS. This let developers use JavaScript and React patterns they already knew. They also created tutorials covering TurboModules, threading, and event emitters to help connect native capabilities.
React Native developers could now build spatial apps for Vision Pro without learning a new language. This opened up the existing React Native community to visionOS projects and brought in many more developers who could contribute.
