Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/51687 Changelog: [Internal] # Context This is the first of several commits that aim to implement a **standalone shell for React Native DevTools**. This will be a lightweight desktop app designed to host the debugger frontend, in much the same way as we currently use Chrome or Edge. The launch flow will otherwise remain **very similar** to the one that exists today. ## What's changing for users? 1. With this commit, nothing; we're merely setting up an experiment flag (for stage 1 - Meta-internal testing) and will make separate plans for open source rollout, coordinated with our framework maintainer partners. 2. If the experiment is successful, we aim to *eventually* phase out the use of Chrome/Edge in React Native DevTools and ship the standalone shell as standard to all React Native developers. This is to enable further improvements that will rely on the standalone shell to work. 3. The first iteration of the standalone shell aims to solve some concrete pain points such as the "dead window problem" - the fact that opening DevTools multiple times for the same target will leave behind a now-dead window (that would ideally have been reused). ## This diff We amend the `unstable_experiments` and `unstable_browserLauncher` APIs in `dev-middleware` to add basic support for launching a standalone shell based on a frontend URL and a *window key* - the latter being an opaque string that the shell process can match against previous launches in order to reuse and foreground existing windows. We leave it up to `BrowserLauncher` implementers ( = frameworks) to provide a working implementation of `unstable_showFuseboxShell`, and do not provide one with `DefaultBrowserLauncher`. This will effectively allow us to dependency-inject the actual shell implementation at stage 1 so we don't increase the download size of React Native unnecessarily.

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 15.1 and Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repository, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
