Meta and Expo both endorse RSD for new universal apps while committing to maintain React Native for Web for existing projects. RSD can be adopted incrementally using platform-specific file extensions, making migration low-risk. The transition mirrors the React Native New Architecture rollout, with a long coexistence period expected. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
