During four months contributing to facebook/react-native and githubnext/discovery-agent__facebook__react-native, Chia-Kai Chien modernized Android JavaScriptCore dependency management by migrating from npm to Maven Central, enabling prefab packaging and improving build reliability using Gradle and C++. Chien enhanced test stability by implementing controlled Jest mocks for the useColorScheme hook, reducing CI flakiness and ensuring consistent UI theming. Additionally, Chien enabled flexible JavaScript engine selection across Android and iOS by decoupling JSC integration and supporting custom JSRuntimeFactory injection. Addressing iOS build failures, Chien resolved non-modular header exposure in React-jsitooling, restoring modular boundaries and improving integration reliability for mobile projects.
In March 2025, delivered a critical build-stability improvement for React-jsitooling in facebook/react-native by addressing an iOS-specific header exposure issue when using use_frameworks. The fix prevents exporting a non-modular header in the umbrella header, reducing build failures and improving reliability for projects relying on React-jsitooling.

Month: 2024-11 — Focused on stabilizing test reliability for githubnext/discovery-agent__facebook__react-native by addressing Jest test flakiness around the React Native useColorScheme hook and Appearance.js. Implemented a mock to force useColorScheme to 'light' in tests, added coverage to verify default mocked behavior, and ensured proper mocking to prevent flaky failures. This work was delivered via two commits that fix a lazy import error and introduce useColorScheme mock tests, reducing CI noise and increasing confidence in UI theming behavior across platforms.
