Migrating to React Native's New Architecture (2025) - Shopify
Shopify successfully migrated two of its largest apps, Shopify Mobile and Shopify Point of Sale (POS) to React Native's New Architecture while maintaining weekly releases and serving millions of merchants. This migration involved a complex codebase with hundreds of screens and native modules, extensive custom components, and deep integration with first-party libraries like FlashList.
