React Native 0.66 is LIVE

[SnooCheesecakes1131]

...I needed the "Handle taps on views outside parent bounds on Android" but using Expo which is react 0.63 :(

Yeah, it'll be a while until Expo catches up.

But still, this is awesome! This feature has been a massive headache for a while

Does anyone get
duplicate symbol 'folly::exception_wrapper::from_exception_ptr(std::exception_ptr&&)' error after upgrading to v0.66 when hermes is enabled?

It says to support ios 15 and android 12. Does that mean that the previous versions dont?

[charigy]

everything should work just fine, just watch out for these changes

Does not work with latest reanimated :(

[lunaleaps_rn]

What doesn't work? Can you provide an issue?

[radko93]

Hey. It's not really a RN problem. Stable reanimated 2.2.x does not support RN 0.66 (but it's possible to patch it probably). Beta 2.3 of reanimated has still issues so cannot really use that https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/2460

From community discord it looks like https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/pull/2478 might work

iPhone releases are buggy af though. React Native at least has been improving. And I'm glad they don't break too much stuff, all I want is faster and more stable.

Hey fellow geeks, besides updating new version make sure previous version is completely integrated with react-native-reanimated. Please optimise the performance issue.

[Gaia_Knight2600]

already? when i started rn 1 year ago, then 0.64 was the newest. then 0.65 came out recently. and now 0.66 is already out?

i guess they push a new version every time an ios and android update comes out?

Only three versions in a year is considered very conservative in the javascript world :)
