To Revive the Mac, Apple Wants to Kill Electron

Doesn't project Catalyst mean that we'd be able to build react-native iOS apps on macOS? :D That would be great, cause with MS support you can build react-native apps on Windows and even Xbox already, just Linux is still out of reach.

This is a very good point that I hadn't thought of, that is, is react-native adds support for it. I imagine Catalyst would make things easier though.

From what I understand (although I didn't do much research) all you have to do is to use a new enough version of Xcode and that's it, so React Native doesn't really have to add any support. Ultimately, you build native apps anyway, all JS things are hidden inside.

I did more research and it seems that they indeed have to add some kind of support.
