React Native 0.83 has been released, bundling React 19.2 APIs including the new `Activity` component (for preserving component state when hidden) and `useEffectEvent` hook. The `use` API for resolving promises directly in components is now usable in React Native alongside Suspense for loading states. DevTools gains a network inspection tab supporting fetch, XHR, and image requests, plus a new performance tracing timeline for profiling JavaScript execution. Other highlights include experimental Hermes v1 with improved JS performance, the ability to compile out legacy architecture on iOS, debugging support for pre-compiled binaries, and a new standalone DevTools desktop app. React Native 0.83 is also notable as the first release with no user-facing breaking changes.
