A hands-on workshop for upgrading a React Native app to Vega's RN 0.83 preview, using the Amazon Devices Builder Tools MCP and AI coding assistants. By the end you'll have run the AI-assisted upgrade helper, enabled the React Compiler on a real Vega build, used React Native DevTools to verify the compiler did its work, and benchmarked the Hermes v1 engine improvements.
- Prerequisites
- Upgrade to React Native 0.83
- See the React Compiler in action
- Use React Native DevTools
- See Hermes v1 in action
- Explore the wider 0.83 ecosystem (optional)
The full prerequisite walkthrough — including the alpha npm registry, preview SDK install, and MCP server setup — is in Step 0.
