June 2025 — Facebook React Native: Delivered targeted Codegen and Bridgeless flow improvements that reduce build-time errors, strengthen runtime correctness, and improve maintainability. Key outcomes include fixing Codegen exclusion scope, enhancing schema merging with a libraryName option and selective module skipping, extracting core components from the auto-generated registry, and tightening guards around onActivityResult in Bridgeless mode. These changes improve platform accuracy in codegen, reduce debugging cycles, and support more modular registry management.

January 2025 — Focused on delivering a core architectural simplification for React Native layout animations. Implemented the "Layout Animations Always Enabled" feature by turning setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental into a no-op with a development warning in BridgelessUIManager, reflecting the design where layout animations are always-on and cannot be turned off. This reduces runtime toggles, simplifies developer experience, and improves cross-platform consistency. Key commit: 44da5d2ee07d06a0e11b626e2641e255f0ffde9f (Make setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental a no-op in Bridgeless (#48856)).
