✨ In September 2024, The React Native Show has become React Universe On Air ✨ 

We’ve been talking about building mobile and web apps with React Native for quite a while. How about we touch on yet another space that can be transformed with this technology: TV. To do that, Łukasz (who, by the way, has been a part of a TV project for a while) invited two guests with first-hand experience in React Native TV app development: Yusuf Yildirim (Technical Lead at XITE) and Karol Latusek (Software Engineer collaborating with Callstack).

Topics covered

🎧 Current state of the TV development space and the challenges posed by the variety of available devices to platforms

🎧 Place of React Native and its community in the TV app development landscape

🎧 Benefits of using React Native for TV platforms, emphasizing code optimization, unified development, and a shared learning curve

🎧 Considerations that a React Native developer should have in mind when building apps for TVs

🎧 Insights into the evolving landscape of TV development, including the promising support for TVs from Expo
