React Native New Architecture Migration

Migrate to the React Native New Architecture

Our team will take care of every step of the migration, so your app runs faster, uses the latest features, and stays future-ready.

Why migrate now

The New Architecture is becoming the default path for React Native teams

Migration is no longer just a technical preference. It affects framework support, library compatibility, performance, and your ability to keep shipping on current React Native versions.

  • Expo SDK 53 defaults to the New Architecture

    Expo has already moved the default development path toward the New Architecture.

  • Meta recommends migration

    React Native's maintainers are steering teams toward the New Architecture as the supported future.

  • More libraries are New Architecture-only

    Delaying migration increases the risk that dependencies block framework upgrades or product work.

  • Most apps have already moved

    The original page cites 75% of React Native apps as already migrated, which makes migration less exceptional and more expected.

  • The Old Architecture window is closing

    RN 0.81 is listed as the last React Native version with the Old Architecture included.

How migration helps

Move forward without turning the upgrade into product drag

We handle the migration across React Native core, dependencies, native modules, build setup, and release requirements so your team can keep building product features.

Keep your app fast

The New Architecture uses significantly less memory in scenarios like long-list scrolling, and we help you avoid third-party breakages that can silently hurt reliability.

Use New Architecture-only features

We prepare your codebase for TurboModules, Concurrent React, bridgeless mode, synchronous rendering, type safety, lazy module loading, and newer React Native capabilities.

Reduce security risk

Outdated React Native versions stop receiving fixes. We update dependencies, patch vulnerabilities, and move your app onto supported foundations.

Cut technical debt early

The longer migration waits, the harder it becomes. We deal with core upgrades, dependencies, native modules, and build setup before they turn into rewrites.

Keep releases smooth

We handle SDK bumps, policy updates, and platform compliance so App Store and Play Store changes do not create avoidable release delays.

Improve UX and DX

The migration unlocks modern APIs, better tooling, and new capabilities that help your team ship responsive, performant experiences.

Why Software Mansion

React Native migration work is close to our daily work

We are not approaching the New Architecture from the outside. We work on React Native, Expo, open source libraries, and real migrations across production apps.

  • React Native and Expo contributors

    We are core contributors to React Native and one of the top contributing groups in the Expo ecosystem.

  • 30+ libraries migrated

    We have migrated 30+ core React Native libraries and a dozen mobile apps to the New Architecture.

  • App.js Conf organizers

    The biggest React Native and Expo-focused conference brings together experts from companies like Meta, Microsoft, Shopify, and Amazon.

  • Maintainers of key libraries

    Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Screens, and other key React Native libraries are created and maintained by Software Mansion engineers.

  • Open source as daily work

    About 30% of our daily work is devoted to open source, which keeps us close to ecosystem changes that affect React Native teams.
