Summary: Building from source in debug takes a very long time because native builds need to run for all supported architectures. It is possible to check which architecture the devices for which we are about to launch the app on are and build only for those. For most cases we can reduce the number of architectures we build for to 1 instead of 4, resulting in a large speedup of the build. This is inspired by iOS which has a "Build for active architecture only" option. Since android doesn't really support this natively we can implement it here and also in react-native by reading the build properties that we pass and alter the abi we build for. With fabric / codegen coming up I suspect that we might want to default to building c++ soon. This should ease the transition as builds won't be orders of magnitude slower. See https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1388 for more context and how we use this new config to automatically detect running emulator architectures. ## Changelog [Android] [Added] - Allow configuring ndk build architectures Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31232 Test Plan: Tested by setting reactNativeDebugArchitectures with different values in gradle.properties. Checked the build logs to see which architectures are being built. Also made sure release builds are not affected by this value.

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 11.0 and Android 5.0 (API 21) 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.
