Summary: Previously, all our type annotations contained a `nullable` property. This diff removes that property from all our NativeModule type annotations, and instead introduces a `NullableTypeAnnotation`. **Some Benefits:** - In all our serialization functions, we use Flow exhaustive checking to ensure that all type-annotations can be serialized. Since nullability is now recorded as a type annotation, Flow will ensure we always explicitly handle nullability. Previously, with nullability as a property, we could ignore it without any feedback from flow. - This aligns the NativeModule schema with the ESTree spec. - After this diff, we're one step closer to sharing type annotations with Codegen's schema. Many NativeModule type annotations now have the same shape as their Codegen counterparts. They will be merged in a subsequent diff. **Downsides:** - If you want to check whether a type annotation is of type `T`, you have to remember to unwrap the type annotation *yourself*. Flow won't warn you if you forget to unwrap the type, which can lead to incomplete handling to nullable types in our generators. - When you're creating type annotations in code, previously, you *had* to specify nullability, since it was a property on all type annotation objects. Now, it's very possible for you to forget to wrap the type annotation, which will just lead to nullability bugs. **Notes:** - In the scheam, exported type annotations are *always* required. They can be made nullable using the new `Nullable` genric type.

React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.

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 10.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) 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 repo, @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 the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
