Announcing the GrowthRail React Native SDK

Mobile is eating the world, and React Native is increasingly becoming the framework of choice for teams building high-velocity, cross-platform applications.

Today, we're thrilled to announce the 1.0 release of the @growthrail/react-native SDK. This marks a massive milestone in our mission to make world-class growth infrastructure accessible to every developer.

What's included in 1.0?

We didn't just wrap our REST API in a JavaScript class. We built a native bridge that deeply integrates with iOS and Android OS-level features to provide a bulletproof referral experience.

• Drop-in UI Components: We've included a complete, highly-customizable "Invite Friends" screen. You can pass your own theme tokens, or let it automatically match your app's native light/dark mode.
• Deferred Deep Link Handling: Automatic interception and parsing of GrowthRail links. The SDK handles the heavy lifting of extracting referral codes on first boot.
• Offline Event Caching: Mobile connections are flaky. If a user shares a link while on a subway without internet, the SDK queues the telemetry event and automatically syncs it when connectivity is restored via background fetch.

Performance First

We know how protective mobile engineers are of their bundle sizes. We've designed the SDK to be incredibly lightweight. It adds less than 50kb to your final JS bundle, and utilizes native modules for all cryptographic and networking tasks to keep the JavaScript thread completely unblocked.
