Yep, no react native support is maddening to me with intercom. A dealbreaker.

Intercom employee here. Do you mean embedding the Messenger in a React Native app?

I'll pass this convo along to the Messenger team. It sounds like a worthwhile thing to look into since RN is becoming so popular.

Thanks for chiming in and passing our feedback along--much appreciated.

In addition Messenger I'd also add Mobile Carousels. A pure JS Expo SDK is needed to support these. I think you'd be surprised how many apps are mobile only these days and would love to use Intercom, but are turning to other options like this instead.

Great, thanks for listening!

I spent a week coding my own implementation via your API. It seems like a react-native dropin would be very popular.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk more about it.

If RN support is something you're actively looking for, I'd love to learn more about your use case if you want to email me at alex (at) papercups.io :)
