Hey Berlin Community!

We’re excited to invite you to a special React Native Edition of the React Berlin Meetup on August 27! Expect a fun evening with hands-on talks, great people, and plenty of networking. Whether you’re already building with React Native or just exploring React Native - come hang out and join the community.

🤝 In collaboration with reactCon @ next.app!
next.app is the world's largest conference for mobile app developers, with 8 co-located events. reactCon at next.app empowers React Native developers to build production-grade, high-performance cross-platform mobile apps using the New Architecture, modern tooling, and battle-tested patterns that scale.

🤝 Organized by
This event made possible thanks to the support from React Day Berlin and AI Coding Summit organizers – GitNation.

🗣 Call for Proposals

Amir Borovac

Nitro Modules for Fun and Profit

When TypeScript gets too slow, native modules can help. We’ll look at the available options and see why Nitro Modules are especially worth trying.

Dmitry Kurkin

Alternative Entry Points for a React-Native Application

Agentic engineering speeds up development, but fast-paced changes make edge cases—like onboarding flows and error handling—easy to miss.
Using Metro’s custom resolver, we can now launch directly into specific test environments, like targeted edge cases or simulated errors, without cluttering our production code with feature flags.

Artur Morys-Magiera

Adoption of Brownfield in React Native

In State of Brownfield in React Native, we’ll look at how engineering teams can introduce React Native and JS into mature, native-only applications. The session walks through practical strategies for phased adoption, cutting-edge tooling, and effective architectural choices. We’ll dig into the real challenges that come with hybrid integration and wrap up with advanced areas like brownfield state and data exchange.

The talk examines how teams can bring React Native and JavaScript into an existing native-only tech stack. We’ll look at practical approaches for gradual adoption—ensuring that iOS and Android apps can continue to receive features and fixes while part of the development workload shifts toward React Native. The session highlights state-of-the-art tooling, integration strategies, and architectural patterns that make brownfield adoption more seamless, while also addressing the real-world challenges that commonly arise in hybrid environments. We’ll conclude by exploring advanced topics such as preloading, passing initial props from native to JS, and efficient bi-directional communication between native code and JavaScript
