No, being in court with Facebook is only one place where the termination can happen: >anyone that makes any claim (including by filing any lawsuit, assertion or other action) Even just stating that a Facebook patent is invalid terminates your license. >any right in any patent claim of Facebook is invalid or unenforceable Even just stating your belief that software patents are invalid or unenforceable terminates your…
> There isn't actually any license granted after that clause (it occurs before this clause) "hereunder" does not refer to a direction within the text :)

In the case of React Native, we don't actually compile a JS runtime. We avoid that overhead by using whatever JS environment is available on the platform. In the case of iOS, we use JSC.
My last update (from two weeks ago or so) was that you were going to bundle a JS runtime for Android as there's too much variation in earlier versions. Has that changed?
On Android, there is no JS execution environment available. We want to avoid the memory and cpu overhead of web views.
So we are basically forced to ship Android with a copy of either JSC or V8.

(Someone had a post asking a good question about what this means. It got downvoted and deleted, which I think is unfortunate for a community that cares about learning about the world around it, so I'm replying here.) There are two separate kinds of legal protection at issue here, copyright and patent. The only thing that's close to covering ideas is patent law, not copyright law. (I'm assuming US law here, since that…
Remember this day, because React Native is going to be a game changer (patent clause stuff aside). Others like Phone Gap tried to make it so you could build native apps using HTML/Javascript but they failed because they focused on running said HTML/Javascript within a performance limited WebView and not the other way around. This weekend I am going to try and get a working application built using React Native. Facebo…
I think there's a lot of proof that it does work, given there's 300,000 Ionic apps, tons in production. I downvoted you not because I don't agree that Native will be compelling but because I hate to see all this hate that's come out against hybrid apps in general that's even been propagated by React Native devs. Webviews will get there. WKWebView is already a huge step forward. I think Native is great, but it's not a…

Don't forget http://robovm.com/ (basically java for ios).
Thanks for remembering and mentioning us. We don't have as huge a marketing budget as the other folks, so I'm going to shamelessly piggy back on your comment here. We also do Scala, Kotlin, Clojure etc. and we are OSS as well (we started out as OSS). You can build unlimited apps without paying us a dime. You can also compile the entire compiler plus Eclipse/Idea/Maven/Gradle integration yourself so you aren't locked…
Cool to see this. By my count we now have, in no particular order: - React Native from Facebook ( https://github.com/facebook/react-native ) - Appcelerator's Titanium and Alloy Frameworks ( http://appcelerator.com ) - Telerik's Native Script ( http://telerik.com/nativescript ) - Xamarin ( http://xamarin.com ) As I understand it, all three of these frameworks have a JS (or C#) runtime that is compiled along with the a…
I'm curious, can somebody talk about the differences between using React Native vs ComponentsKit? It seems ComponentsKit is a very specific to iOS as opposed to React. https://github.com/facebook/componentkit
With React Native you write your apps in JavaScript, in a React.js style. My understanding is that ComponentsKit has you write your iOS apps with ObjC/Swift or whatever, but it gives you a way of structuring your apps that is similar to React.js
