    I’m confused though. The op says “react native”, but AFAIK, react native is a mobile app framework.

    Does it work/deploy on desktop now?

      React Native can be built for, not only mobile targets, but multiple platforms, such as Windows, tvs,…, or even the web, trying to use as much native implementations as possible. Now, should you?, that’s a different discussion…

        Okay, the cross platform part makes it make a little sense. They’re trying to push everything over to arm (again!) and having something easy to cross compile would help… But, you know … The start menu is small potatoes compared to gestures at the rest of Windows

      Yes, there’s support for compiling React Native to UWP apps for Windows. No, I don’t know why anyone thought that was a good idea.
