Would love to see the ability to build Android apps too now that Android support has been released.
We're working on getting Android support along with other devices (iPhone 5/6/6+).

#12Were the accusations that React's license enables Facebook to steal your entire project without facing any legal consequences ever addressed?

Whoah. I wasn't aware there was an issue. I'd like to get someone from FB to comment on this! Seems like an unfortunate poison pill - and perhaps the explaination as to why FB released all this React infrastructure, as leverage (although I can't help but think that any organization worth suing could afford to port an app from React to something similar).

The patent grant has been updated in April.

#15One day there'll be a collection of React-Native view components which output HTML/DOM, and it will be a terrible, fantastic, horrible day.

As dumb as that sounds, it's not entirely without merit. React Native's direct goal isn't write-once-run-anywhere, it's write-once-write-anywhere. That's a good goal for a place with as many engineers as Facebook does, but smaller teams might place more importance on write-once-run-anywhere.

The updated PATENTS doc makes it clear:
https://github.com/facebook/osquery/blob/master/PATENTS
That if you sue Facebook for patent infringement or if you sue any party for patent infringement related to use of (or modification you make to) Facebook "Software" then the license granted to you to use said Software will terminate.
Plain and simple. Even makes sense!
