Looks like it's iOS only right now? Can't see any mention of Android in the docs?

Some react-native developers were at last months React London User Group. It's apparently being built there but they are working through some perf issues.

When asked when it will be released they said "You will know when its released, it will be really obvious"

"We are also working on an Android implementation which we will release later"

"Later" could be days or years! I'd love to hear even a very approximate ETA...

As per this link https://code.facebook.com/posts/1014532261909640/react-nativ..., wait can be longer.

It's taking them a long time since the announcement of the new framework at React conf. They said they would release an Android compatible version soon and still we're waiting for any updates beside the usual cliche.

It's been about a month since the world even knew React Native existed. You consider that a long time?

A month ago:

'We'll release an Android version later'

A month later:

'We'll release an Android version later'

You consider this progress at least in terms of PR & communications?

Of course it isn't progress. But nor is a month a particularly long time for progress to occur in.

HN entitlement never ceases to amaze me

Sorry for the inconvenience. If you need something to fill the time while waiting for them to deliver your free software, maybe you should try contributing to an open source project.

I got excited and disappointed. Damn, how long is it going to take?

Right there on the front page: "We are also working on an Android implementation which we will release later."

Oops - thanks! Was too excited and went straight into the docs...
