Today's Talk explores mobile DevOps and how React Native simplifies mobile releases. Key metrics for DevOps performance include deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time to restore service, and change failure rate. React Native allows over-the-air updates, eliminating the need for resubmission. Overdue updates offer advantages like bypassing app store validations and quick updates, but have limitations. Other options to consider are in-app models for forced upgrades, EAS Build and Submit, Repack for micro-frontends, and upcoming server components in React Native.

This talk has been presented at React Day Berlin 2023, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

Levelling up Monorepos with npm Workspaces
Top Content
NPM workspaces help manage multiple nested packages within a single top-level package, improving since the release of NPM CLI 7.0. You can easily add dependencies to workspaces and handle duplications. Running scripts and orchestration in a monorepo is made easier with NPM workspaces. The npm pkg command is useful for setting and retrieving keys and values from package.json files. NPM workspaces offer benefits compared to Lerna and future plans include better workspace linking and adding missing features.

We will learn how to automate code and testing with GitHub Actions, including linting, formatting, testing, and deployments. Automating deployments with scripts and Git hooks can help avoid mistakes. Popular CI-CD frameworks like Jenkins offer powerful orchestration but can be challenging to work with. GitHub Actions are flexible and approachable, allowing for environment setup, testing, deployment, and custom actions. A custom AppleTools Eyes GitHub action simplifies visual testing. Other examples include automating content reminders for sharing old content and tutorials.

Fine-tuning DevOps for People over Perfection

DevOps is a journey that varies for each company, and remote work makes transformation challenging. Pull requests can be frustrating and slow, but success stories like Mateo Colia's company show the benefits of deploying every day. Challenges with tools and vulnerabilities require careful consideration and prioritization. Investing in documentation and people is important for efficient workflows and team growth. Trust is more important than excessive control when deploying to production.
Why is CI so Damn Slow?

Why is CI so Damn Slow?
Slow CI has a negative impact on productivity and finances. Debugging CI workflows and tool slowness is even worse. Dependencies impact CI and waiting for NPM or YARN is frustrating. The ideal CI job involves native programs for static jobs and lightweight environments for dynamic jobs. Improving formatter performance and linting is a priority. Performance optimization and fast tools are essential for CI and developers using slower hardware.

This Talk discusses Rack Native at Microsoft and the efforts to improve code integration, developer experience, and leadership goals. The goal is to extend Rack Native to any app, utilize web code, and increase developer velocity. Implementing web APIs for React Native is being explored, as well as collaboration with Meta. The ultimate aim is to make web code into universal code and enable developers to write code once and have it work on all platforms.

In this workshop you’ll learn why we created FlashList at Shopify and how you can use it in your code today. We will show you how to take a list that is not performant in FlatList and make it performant using FlashList with minimum effort. We will use tools like Flipper, our own benchmarking code, and teach you how the FlashList API can cover more complex use cases and still keep a top-notch performance.You will know:- Quick presentation about what FlashList, why we built, etc.- Migrating from FlatList to FlashList- Teaching how to write a performant list- Utilizing the tools provided by FlashList library (mainly the useBenchmark hook)- Using the Flipper plugins (flame graph, our lists profiler, UI & JS FPS profiler, etc.)- Optimizing performance of FlashList by using more advanced props like `getType`- 5-6 sample tasks where we’ll uncover and fix issues together- Q&A with Shopify team

Compared to unit testing, end-to-end testing aims to interact with your application just like a real user. And as we all know it can be pretty challenging. Especially when we talk about Mobile applications.
Tests rely on many conditions and are considered to be slow and flaky. On the other hand - end-to-end tests can give the greatest confidence that your app is working. And if done right - can become an amazing tool for boosting developer velocity.
Detox is a gray-box end-to-end testing framework for mobile apps. Developed by Wix to solve the problem of slowness and flakiness and used by React Native itself as its E2E testing tool.
Join me on this workshop to learn how to make your mobile end-to-end tests with Detox rock.
Prerequisites- iOS/Android: MacOS Catalina or newer- Android only: Linux- Install before the workshop

Deploying React Native apps manually on a local machine can be complex. The differences between Android and iOS require developers to use specific tools and processes for each platform, including hardware requirements for iOS. Manual deployments also make it difficult to manage signing credentials, environment configurations, track releases, and to collaborate as a team.
Appflow is the cloud mobile DevOps platform built by Ionic. Using a service like Appflow to build React Native apps not only provides access to powerful computing resources, it can simplify the deployment process by providing a centralized environment for managing and distributing your app to multiple platforms. This can save time and resources, enable collaboration, as well as improve the overall reliability and scalability of an app.
In this workshop, you’ll deploy a React Native application for delivery to Android and iOS test devices using Appflow. You’ll also learn the steps for publishing to Google Play and Apple App Stores. No previous experience with deploying native applications is required, and you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the mobile deployment process and best practices for how to use a cloud mobile DevOps platform to ship quickly at scale.

So you’ve gotten Detox set up to test your React Native application. Good work! But you aren’t done yet: there are still a lot of questions you need to answer. How many tests do you write? When and where do you run them? How do you ensure there is test data available? What do you do about parts of your app that use mobile APIs that are difficult to automate? You could sink a lot of effort into these things—is the payoff worth it?
In this three-hour workshop we’ll address these questions by discussing how to integrate Detox into your development workflow. You’ll walk away with the skills and information you need to make Detox testing a natural and productive part of day-to-day development.
Table of contents:
- Deciding what to test with Detox vs React Native Testing Library vs manual testing- Setting up a fake API layer for testing- Getting Detox running on CI on GitHub Actions for free- Deciding how much of your app to test with Detox: a sliding scale- Fitting Detox into you local development workflow
Prerequisites
- Familiarity with building applications with React Native- Basic experience with Detox- Machine setup: a working React Native CLI development environment including either Xcode or Android Studio
