React Native macOS

It enables developers to create macOS desktop applications using the React Native framework together with native Cocoa components. The workflow mirrors the standard React Native toolchain: after installing the macOS‑specific CLI, a project can be initialized, built, and run on macOS with a single command, and existing iOS/Android/Windows codebases can be extended by merging the generated macOS folder and adding a configuration file.

The library is a fork of React Native for iOS, so the same JavaScript APIs, component model, and documentation apply. It requires Node 4.x or newer and macOS 10.11+. sample include a tester app that demonstrates component behavior and allows loading external JavaScript bundles via HTTP.

The project is open‑source under the MIT license, marked as stable, and no through GitHub issues and community channels such as Stack Overflow and the Reactiflux Discord. It is no longer maintained, with a Microsoft‑maintained alternative available for Windows and Catalyst support suggested for macOS.
