Hi,

Just wanted to know if the React Native client will work when using the new architecture, or if there is any plans on supporting it in the future?

+1 please. React Native now fully supports the New Architecture and the frameworks are highly encouraging all companies to enable it in their apps.

Expo stated it’s possible React Native may remove the legacy architecture late 2025.

Hi Support Team,

I would like to inquire whether Bitmovin supports Custom UI implementation for tvOS (Apple TV) when using the React Native player component.

We are evaluating UI customization options for our application and want to understand the supported capabilities and recommended approach.

Please share your valuable feedback.
