SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Use when building or reviewing mobile apps with React Native + Expo to ensure predictable structure, clean separation between UI and native bridges, and safe OTA updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized navigation layer with a dedicated navigator tree and typed routes
  • Single-adapter pattern for all native modules; screens depend on adapters
  • Explicit offline UX patterns, including data caching, queued writes, and reconciling updates
  • OTA safety with clear EAS Update guidelines and runtime-version management
  • Permissions flow handled at use-time with rationale UI

Quick Start

Migrate all native module calls into a single adapter layer and route navigation changes through a central navigator to enforce the rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a React Native navigation tree to keep it centralized and OTA-safe?

Centralized navigation in React Native uses a dedicated navigator tree with typed routes, ensuring navigation changes route through a central navigator to maintain predictable structure and safe OTA updates.

What is the single-adapter pattern for React Native native modules?

The single-adapter pattern for React Native places all native module calls into one adapter layer, so screens depend on adapters rather than touching native bridges directly, creating clean separation and safer boundaries.

How do I handle offline UX in an Expo app with cached data and queued writes?

Offline UX in Expo apps uses explicit patterns for data caching, queued writes, and reconciling updates, ensuring the app handles connectivity loss gracefully and syncs data when network access returns.

When do I need to manage runtime versions for EAS Update in Expo?

Runtime version management for EAS Update is needed whenever you ship JavaScript changes that interact with native code, ensuring OTA updates only apply to compatible app builds and preventing crashes.

Does this adapter pattern work for handling React Native permissions at use-time?

Yes, the adapter pattern handles React Native permissions at use-time, triggering permission prompts only when the feature is accessed and providing a rationale UI to explain the request to users.

What are the limitations of relying on OTA updates without an adapter layer in React Native?

Without an adapter layer, React Native screens directly calling native modules risk breaking during OTA updates, as native boundary changes bypass structured guardrails and cause unpredictable runtime crashes.
