React Native's New Architecture Interop Layer
The Interop Layer is a compatibility bridge, letting legacy native modules run in React Native's New Architecture without a full rewrite. Library maintainers must ensure compatibility for users on RN 0.74+. The footgun: remove partial Codegen specs.
Think of React Native's Interop Layer as a backward-compatibility bridge. It lets legacy native modules function within the New Architecture (TurboModules/Fabric) without an immediate, full rewrite. This is crucial for library maintainers supporting users on RN 0.74+, where it's on by default. The biggest footgun is keeping a partial Codegen spec file; if your library isn't fully migrated, you must delete the spec to let the Interop Layer work correctly.
