React Native section provided by yours truly!
Tomorrow, I'm going live with awesome @q1w1n.bsky.social!
Join us while we play around with Claude skills 🤠
Most React Native APIs work on Meta Quest out of the box (far more than you’d expect). This clip breaks down why the workflow feels familiar and where the few missing pieces show up.
Full episode is live ➡️ clstk.com/48smRhk What would you try building for Quest first?
On mobile, your app window size is static, but things are different in VR, where users can move, resize, and interact in new ways with your app. That’s why adaptive layout plays a crucial role when creating your designs.
Learn how to do it in React Native in my latest article👇
The React Native community has a new path into VR. Episode with Meta’s Ram Natarajan and Callstack’s @jwr.ski premieres on Nov 26. Sign up on YouTube 🎥 youtu.be/0jn2u2x3I_M
The React Native community unlocked a new platform 👀 @lukasz.app , @jwr.ski , and Ram Natarajan (Meta) break down how React Native runs on Quest, how much of the mobile workflow carries over, and why VR is a real opportunity for developers. Tune in now ➡️ clstk.com/4rrNSJg
Build → Submit → Publish
This flow is a bigger challenge for many developers than creating an app.
Without it, your app won’t be able to reach wider audience. It’s the last step in the journey from an idea to real solution.
My new article goes into detail about publishing RN app on Meta Store.

Shipping a React Native app on Meta Quest? @jwr.ski just wrote a guide where he walks through builds, submission, assets, and review tips, end to end ➡️ clstk.com/4oTWzu6
If you’re after the $25k React Native prize (or the $1.5M total pool) in Meta’s Developer Competition, this is really important.

Creating an app for Meta Quest is one part of the equation. Without knowing how to release, your ideas will never see the light of day.
Tomorrow, I’m breaking down exactly how to publish to the Meta Horizon Store, from build process to monetization, so stay tuned!
Meta Developer Competition is out! Check out my latest article for ideas on what to build.
Thanks for the mention @codewithbeto.dev!
Did you wonder what you can build for Meta Quest?
We’ve got your back and came up with ideas that should be a fun challenge to implement! Look out for tomorrow’s post for an inspiration.
We also have a special announcement planned with Meta so keep an eye out 😉
The good news is that most libraries work out of the box, but be wary of edge cases. Check out the latest article to find out what additional setup is needed and how to avoid surprises.
Most libraries work fine, but some behave differently in VR. I’ve decided to explore this topic and show you what’s different and how to prepare your app for running on Meta Quest.
React Native and @expo.dev on Meta Quest = new challenges, same fun 🕶️
Let's explore library compatibility together!

Building apps Meta Quest does not have to be scary! Our latest article shows how you can easily get started with building React Native apps using @expo.dev! Get up and running in minutes and configure a full development setup when you’re ready to build more advanced apps!

Our latest guide shows how to get started with React Native on Meta Quest VR using Expo. From quick setup with Expo Go to leveraging full development builds for HorizonOS, we cover everything you need to build immersive experiences with your existing skills ➡️ clstk.com/475KYSh
Last year, we proved that React Native is a great fit for Vision Pro. For React Conf 2025, we’re doing the same for @MetaQuestVR. We built a showcase app to show how React Native scales to VR platforms, and the results speak for themselves!
Check out what we did on our blog👇
We just launched a new React Native showcase for Meta Quest VR 🚀
Our demo on Horizon OS features camera, audio, and fluid navigation powered by popular libraries. It proves you can use existing mobile skills to build high-performance VR experiences.
