Video streaming specialist Bitmovin has announced the release of Bitmovin React Native SDK v1.0 for the Bitmovin Player, providing support for Expo SDK and React Native New Architecture.
According to Bitmovin, video developers using the open-source platform Expo to build React Native applications can now use enhanced capabilities in rendering, responsiveness, and integration speed across Android, Android TV, iOS, and tvOS. With the new Expo configuration plugin, it says, developers can replace lengthy manual processes with a single configuration step, streamlining setup and reducing the potential for errors.
Developers can also debug directly within React Native DevTools via Chrome. The Bitmovin React Native SDK v1.0 fully supports React Native New Architecture, ensuring any integration is future-proofed as the legacy architecture is phased out.
Stefan Lederer, CEO and co-founder of Bitmovin, said: “Our focus with this release is to improve the developer experience with simple and easy-to-use tools that can integrate into existing video workflows with significantly less code.
As a result, our customers will be able to make their services more mobile-friendly and provide their audiences with the superior viewing experiences they expect and deserve.”
