React Native

this is some nerd shit so not sure where to share

but we just shipped the first version of Farcaster based on the React Native new architecture!

new arch has been in the works for almost 7 years (!!) and as a React Native dev this is hugely exciting for me

Farcaster

the iOS input issues and Android perf / jank issues should be solved in the latest Play Store / App Store builds! please upgrade :)

sadly we had to roll back the new arch in the Farcaster app

we ended up with a lot of perf, memory, and UX regressions even after a week or trying to squash them

working with the Expo team to try to get things to a better place

it's not a specific version, it's the React Native new architecture

which version was causing issues? we've been targeting an expo sdk upgrade as well

Yeah these are similar issues to what I’ve heard from the folks at Discord 😔.  @ashoat.eth I can put you in touch with them if you’re interested.

damn, this is really sad to hear. cc @zfm

Thanks so much for the roll back, it fixed a lot of bugs.

-Stable UX interaction 
-Drafts embeds now fixed
-Keyboard is no longer fast than the app, so no lag or input delay
-Self scrolling adjusted

Awesome stuff👍

Thanks for rolling back and fixing things. The new update seems to have things a lot better.

What was the motivation behind the migration?
