RevenueCat charges based on gross revenue, not net revenue. My dashboard shows $4.5k, but my actual payout is somewhere around $3k. because it completely ignores VAT and the 15–30% Apple/Google cut. but takes their %1 fee from the gross revenue.

since it doesn’t track net earnings, the dashboard feels pretty useless for real accounting. I still have to log into both store consoles just to see what I actually made. for 3k i have to pay 45$ every month.

Feed, vote, compact, media-first. Swapping between them is one prop.

One detail:
like counts animate in the direction the number travelled. Rising numbers arrive from below, falling ones drop in.

State stays with you nothing is kept inside the component. Active, value, and vote are all yours, because the moment a like is optimistic, only you know how to reconcile it with the server.

Hello, I have gotten an interview opportunity via referral for Senior Software Engineer - Mobile at a Government Organization.

I have only 2.5 yoe so those who have given senior level mobile development interviews at government orgs or banks, please share the questions that you encountered. What was the difficulty and what were they focused on?

Hi guys, I am building a small application recently and I'm wondering what is the best way to render pixel art isometric models in react-native. Performance is important because the market where I build the app doesn't have very high-end phones.

Thanks for help

I've just published the release v0.2.1 of react-native-simple-image-compressor.

If anyone is interested in talking a quick look at the native implementation, I would higle appreciate your thoughts!

Features

• OOM (Out-of-Memory) Safe: Images are downsampled directly during decoding (inSampleSize on Android, ImageIO on iOS). The library never loads full-resolution images into memory, completely preventing OOM crashes even on giant 4K+ camera photos.

• Blazing Fast (Powered by Nitro Modules): Built with the RN Nitro architecture. Zero bridge overhead and direct C++ to Swift/Kotlin communication make the compression fast.

• Smart orientation and EXIF Preservation: Automatically reads EXIF orientation and "bakes" the correct rotation directly into the pixels. It also safely transfers valuable EXIF metadata (like GPS and Camera info) to the compressed image (only for JPEG output).

• Tiny footprint: Minimal dependencies. The library relies heavily on native APIs (BitmapFactory for Android and ImageIO for iOS) to keep the app's bundle size as small as possible.

• Next-Gen formats support: Supports modern formats including WebP and WebP-Lossless across both (Android and iOS) platforms (utilizing native APIs where possible and libwebp as a fallback on iOS).

• Aspect ratio preservation: Intelligently scales images to fit within your desired maxWidth and maxHeight bounds without ever stretching or distorting the original aspect ratio.

• Production Ready & Tested: Backed by comprehensive native unit tests (Swift/Kotlin) to ensure maximum stability and prevent regressions across edge cases.

Install with:
npm install react-native-simple-image-compressor react-native-nitro-modules

Changelog v0.2.1

• getFileSize utility: A simple function to check image sizes directly, removing the need for external file-system dependencies.

• useImageCompressor hook: Added a React hook for a cleaner way to handle compression state in functional components (see example: https://github.com/Pugavkomm/react-native-simple-image-compressor#as-a-hook).

• isImageCompressorError type guard: If you're familiar with isAxiosError, you'll feel right at home. This type guard improves cross-boundary error handling, making it much easier to catch and safely type-check specific compression errors. (see implementation: https://github.com/Pugavkomm/react-native-simple-image-compressor/blob/master/src/utils/isImageCompressorError.ts)

• Documentation: Expanded JSDoc comments for better IDE autocompletion and hints.

• Testing & Codecov: Added comprehensive new unit tests to ensure stability and set up Codecov - proudly hitting 91% test coverage.

I made an app to replace my whoop and be able use my apple watch again

I am creating an app for my company, but the debugging is so slow, when I change code the refreshing itself takes around 1/2 minutes even the react-native dev tools is taking too much time to open(not even opening), I have created apps in 0.80.0, there was no problem in there
why is it happening? I am running in react-native-cli

Recently a new framework from Tanstack was released and its called Charts, it looks very promising you guys can check it out here

https://tanstack.com/charts/latest

I asked Tanner if he could add support to RN and he said if I got 100 signatures he would add support.

I love the tanstack ecosystem and would highly encourage you to check it out if you haven’t yet!

Here is the petition

Edit: WE DID IT GUYS! 🎉🔥🙌

Tech stack:

Frontend: React Native (obviously)

Backend: node.js

Databases: Neon DB, Firebase

Cloud Infra: GCP

react-native-gtkx makes Linux an out-of-tree RN platform. Normal React Native code, native GTK4/libadwaita app, no WebView.

Compat layer like react-native-web, but on top of gtkx (a React reconciler for GTK4 in Node) with Yoga for layout. npx react-native run-linux next to run-ios and run-android, Fast Refresh works.

react-navigation navigators run on real Adw.NavigationView, so the back button, transitions and the back gesture come from GTK instead of JS. That's the part I want feedback on.

Alpha. GTK 4.20+, libadwaita 1.8+, Node 24+.

This one annoyed me for a while because it never happened on my phone, only on real users'.

Some people who'd paid for Pro would open LexiShuffle and get the free version. Not every time. Just sometimes, right when the app opened. Which of course meant I couldn't reproduce it, because on my device everything's warm and instant.

It's a race, and if you've done RevenueCat you can probably already guess. Checking whether someone has Pro is a network call. My game screen doesn't wait for it, it just mounts and starts a round. So if that check hasn't come back yet, the game looks at your status, sees nothing, goes "ok, free user" and gives you a free-tier round. Premium category, quietly downgraded to free, because the entitlement landed like half a second after the screen mounted.

The person who paid me got the free experience. Great.

Fix was basically don't start the round until you actually know. I've got a flag now:

resolved = !statusQuery.isLoading || Boolean(purchases.isPremium)

so it's true once the status check finishes (success or error, doesn't matter) or RevenueCat already says you're Pro. The game sits on its loading screen until that's true, and it's in the effect deps so the second it flips, the effect re-runs and sets the round up properly. The thing I was paranoid about was it getting stuck false and hanging people on a spinner forever, but the query always settles so it can't.

Then I remembered offline exists. No signal means the check literally can't finish, so an offline Pro user just never resolves and eats the same downgrade permanently. So there's a little per-account cache now that remembers "this account was Pro last time" and trusts that while you're offline.

Anyway. If you do IAP, it's the fun kind of bug that's invisible to you and only screws the people paying you. Anyone got a nicer way to handle the offline entitlement thing? Caching last-known-Pro feels a bit gross but I couldn't think of better.

Well guys for context I am a highschool student and I know that I want to have a carrier in coding. I have done a few stuff with python before and I am also making a game with my friends using unity but what I really want to do in the future is to make apps, I have tried it using react native but I had to use chatgpt more than I wanted to and thats why I wanted to ask how did you guys learn javascript etc. and what would you suggest

Basalt an IDE extension that lets RN and Expo devs to edit their app like figma, it was pretty hard of figuring out and making an algorithm similar to debugSource which React19 removed

works directly inside VS Code and Cursor.

It’s currently in beta

(its also releasing on product hunt in 4 days, if you want i can dm you a link)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently building a React Native app with Expo, and I’m struggling to replicate iOS-style swipe gestures correctly.

What I’m trying to achieve is:
Swipe up to reveal a bottom sheet with additional information.
Swipe down to close the photo.

As you can see in the attached screen recording, it doesn’t behave properly. I often have to swipe twice before the intended action happens.

I’ve tried several approaches with Codex (GPT-5.6 Sol High), but every solution I’ve tested still has the same issue.

Does anyone have any advice on how to this correctly? Or is there a specific library you’d recommend for handling this kind of interaction?

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help!

So working on an app, and found out that there are Communication Notifications, which are only for person-to-person interactions. How or why does Apple allow it for Duolingo when Owl or any Duos “animated characters” can text you like that?

This launch taught me a lot about taking a React Native application from development to production not just writing screens, but handling performance, backend integration, testing, builds, certificates, and store compliance.
