Release Notes Published

Added

  • EventTarget: Enable the imperative EventTarget API (addEventListener, removeEventListener, dispatchEvent) on native view refs in canary (8480b86820 by @rubennorte)

Changed

Fixed

iOS specific

  • Codegen: No longer crawls node_modules or follows symlinks when discovering components (39751d864d by @gabrieldonadel)
  • SwiftPM: Generated manifests derive their iOS platform floor from the app's IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET instead of hardcoding iOS 15, so dependencies with a higher minimum (e.g. Expo, 16.4) can be autolinked (92564f33fd by @chrfalch)
  • SwiftPM: Read the SwiftPM name from the podspec and store it in package.json when scaffolding (1cfc5f29a0 by @chrfalch)
  • SwiftPM: Run generated build scripts under bash instead of /bin/sh, so they don't break on a host where /bin/sh isn't bash (25f48bd72f by @lazerg)
