Good morning, it's Thursday, September 24th, 2026, and this is your React Native briefing.
The lead signal today is two-track work: hardening the scrolling and list primitives users feel every day, while cleaning up the native module boundaries that make those primitives maintainable.
First, iOS Fabric header modularization. Four changes move public headers away from fine-grained cross-module includes toward stable umbrella entry points. PR 58654 updates the renderer core module, and PR 58665 does the same for the text layout manager. PR 58663 applies the pattern to UIManager framework headers,…
Second, correctness in ScrollView, lists, and images. PR 58658 fixes idle unmounts on iOS incorrectly firing momentum scroll end by checking whether the scroll view is actually decelerating. PR 58657 ensures edge callbacks like on end reached still fire after programmatic scrolling when cells render late, without…
Finally, tooling, performance, and platform alignment. Commit b71d466 fixes the Jest preset under pnpm and Yarn pnpm-mode so preset sources resolve and transform correctly. PR 58661 removes closure allocations on the device event emitter hot path when tracing is off. Commit b935e74…
