Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed in React Native 0.87? React Native 0.87's public JavaScript API is now the Strict TypeScript API, with types generated directly from React Native's source code. The release also bumps Metro to a leaner v0.87 and adds experimental Swift Package Manager support for iOS. _Track React Native release notes like this on daily.dev before upgrading your mobile app._ ### What was fixed in Next.js 16.3.1? Next.js 16.3.1 is a patch release cleaning up issues from the 16.3 release, including repeated prefetch loops, cache entries being discarded too eagerly after a tag revalidation, and the headers() function returning a stale view of the request. It shipped shortly after the original 16.3 release. _Developers chasing down Next.js caching bugs can follow patch releases like this on daily.dev._ ### Why did Yelp migrate its codebase from Flow to TypeScript? Yelp originally picked Flow in 2017 because it handled React better than TypeScript did at the time, but the company later reversed that decision, spending years converting hundreds of packages and 1.4 million lines of code while running both typecheckers simultaneously during the transition. _Teams weighing a large-scale typechecker migration can compare real-world experiences like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [This Week In React \#294: React Compiler, TanStack, Next.js, GTKX, Effect, shadcn, Preact, Unhead, RHF](https://daily.dev/posts/this-week-in-react-294-react-compiler-tanstack-next-js-gtkx-effect-shadcn-preact-unhead-rh-gmkibvd2t) · This Week In React · 11 upvotes · 1 comments - [This Week In React \#293: Next.js, TanStack, browser\(\), React Aria, MobX, SWR, WebMCP, R3F](https://daily.dev/posts/this-week-in-react-293-next-js-tanstack-browser-react-aria-mobx-swr-webmcp-r3f-23hjevr4f) · This Week In React · 14 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#react](https://daily.dev/tags/react), [#typescript](https://daily.dev/tags/typescript), [#nextjs](https://daily.dev/tags/nextjs), [#react-native](https://daily.dev/tags/react-native) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/issue-487-the-next-js-team-is-doing-a-reddit-ama-react-status-isy02ys8t)
