Looks like it's iOS only right now? Can't see any mention of Android in the docs?
When asked when it will be released they said "You will know when its released, it will be really obvious"
The first thing I do now on each Facebook open-source reveal, is to check the PATENTS file for the toxic second paragraph, to see if they've changed it. Sadly, no. I can't imagine being able to use this at any decent-sized company with lawyers. :-( https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/PATENTS See for example the discussions at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9111849 (eg. https://news.ycombinator.…

It's been about a month since the world even knew React Native existed. You consider that a long time?
A month ago: 'We'll release an Android version later' A month later: 'We'll release an Android version later' You consider this progress at least in terms of PR & communications?

You can `npm install parse` and run it as usual within a React Native app
Great! I guess it wouldn't be a problem for common operations like data creation and fetching, since underneath it's all implemented through REST APIs. But what about push notification? Parse's JS library doesn't support it, but its iOS library does support it through platform's push notification mechanism. Does this mean using Parse in React Native, I can't get Push Notification to work on iOS? or I still have to wr…
Take a look here: http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/pushnotification...
Should someone learning iOS development stick to vanilla iOS while learning, or would it be feasible to use React Native from the outset? I already have some React experience, and I have some React-based web app that I'd like to turn into native iOS app.
Also ask yourself a question, do you really think you can call yourself an iOS developer when the only way you truly know how to create apps is with React?

It says if you get into a patent disagreement with their company you can no longer use react, whether they sue you, or you sue them. I'm not planning on suing facebook, but if they sue me, suddenly I have 2 problems, the lawsuit, and not being able to use react anymore. It should only regard to react. If the clause is to protect their right to develop react, it should only pertain to such.
Please don't spread fear and uncertainty based on incorrect understanding of licensing. Suing Facebook does not void your license to use React. It voids your additional patent grant . That's different.

As with the other discussions on this matter, I remain sceptical that this clause is a problem. The general argument is made that there is an implicit patent license granted when an open-source license is applied to a software product, and that this explicit patent license somehow overrides the implicit patent license (despite not being part of the license itself). I've received different advice on the matter, so YMM…

So I guess you don't use any Apache licensed products at work either? Since the only reason Facebook added the PATENTS file is to keep the new BSD license in line with their old Apache license. http://www.apache.org/licenses/
Apache 2.0's license clause does not have an equivalent to "The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice, for anyone that makes any claim (including by filing any lawsuit, assertion or other action) alleging [...] that any right in any patent claim of Facebook is invalid or unenforceable."), which is the problematic part as it means that you can't even defend yourself if Facebook sue…

If you're learning iOS development, stick to learning iOS development. A framework, no matter how cool and neat it is, will not replace pure iOS development for serious apps. Also ask yourself a question, do you really think you can call yourself an iOS developer when the only way you truly know how to create apps is with React?
Like Facebook's Groups app and Ads Manager app, which both use React Native?
