Jamon's Code Quests is back, and this time, I'm going through a quick guide -- how to build a Mac app with React Native for macOS.

IMPORTANT NOTE: while I show how to enable the New Architecture in the video, you might want to stick with the legacy architecture for now, due to some instability with core APIs still. (But still enable Hermes.) All you have to do is not add the RCT_… flag for pods and run-macos, and it’ll use the legacy architecture. If you want to switch between them, just make sure to pod install first.

Love to see another code quest where you add react-native-for-windows for Windows support in the same repo :D

Thanks for the video!
