6:40 PM – Brownfield Incremental React Native Adoption x RNEF by Michał Pierzchała, Principal Engineer at Callstack

Adding React Native to existing native projects is hard today, involving a lot of moving code around, adding legacy tooling (CocoaPods) and making native engineers familiar with Node.js ecosystem. In this talk we'll go through a modern way of integrating React Native into a sample iOS and Android apps, utilizing `react-native-brownfield` library and RNEF, which makes the whole process easier and less disruptive for iOS and Android developers.
