React Native macOS (ex react-native-desktop)

Build macOS desktop applications using React Native.

---

Project Catalyst (macOS 10.15+)

As Apple announced Project Catalyst it does make sense to use just the React Native with macOS target enabled. The details will come soon.

<View>
  <Button onPress={() => alert('clicked!')} />
</View>

Getting Started

Node 4.x+, OS X 10.11+ required.

Previous React Native experience is highly recommended.

$ npm install react-native-macos-cli -g
$ react-native-macos init MyProject
$ cd MyProject
$ react-native-macos run-macos

If you want to add macOS target to the existing iOS/Android/Windows project, make the steps above, merge this new folder into your current React Native project, then put rn-cli.config.js in the root.

Documentation

Since React Native macOS is just a fork, you can follow the same instructions on the React Native Documentation.

Disclaimer

React Native macOS is a fork of React Native for iOS. The project is still a fairly new so proceed at your own risk.
