New Architecture (Fabric & TurboModules)

The SDK fully supports React Native's New Architecture:

  • Fabric — new rendering system
  • TurboModules — synchronous access and lazy loading

Automatic Detection​

The SDK detects your app's architecture automatically:

  • New Architecture → Uses TurboModuleRegistry for optimal performance
  • Old Architecture → Falls back to NativeModules

No code changes required. Your existing code works with both:

// Works on both Old and New Architecture
import { BBPlayerView } from '@bluebillywig/react-native-bb-player';

<BBPlayerView
  ref={playerRef}
  jsonUrl="https://demo.bbvms.com/p/default/c/4701337.json"
  onDidTriggerPlay={() => console.log('Playing')}
/>

Enabling New Architecture​

React Native 0.76+​

Enabled by default — nothing to do.

React Native 0.73–0.75​

Android (android/gradle.properties):

newArchEnabled=true

iOS (ios/Podfile):

ENV['RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED'] = '1'

Then rebuild:

# iOS
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
npx react-native run-ios

# Android
cd android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..
npx react-native run-android

Expo​

Works with newArchEnabled: true in app.json — no extra steps.
