Changelog

For changes prior to v4, see the v3 documentation.

v4.0 — SuperNative (beta)#

New Features#

• SuperNative — fully native UI powered by SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android, and the new default for v4 apps
• Livewire-like native components — each screen is a PHP NativeComponent class holding its state and behavior, re-rendering the native UI as your properties change
• Shared memory between PHP and the native layer — no serialization overhead or web view bridge between your code and the UI
• Web view as a component — the classic web-view-first approach is now opt-out: render a single native route with a full-screen web view to keep building the v3 way
• Layouts — declare shared chrome (nav bars, tab bars) once in a NativeLayout class and attach it to a route or group of routes
• Native navigation stack — register screens with Route::native(), then push, pop, and replace them with native transitions
• Component testing suite — mount a NativeComponent, drive interactions, and assert on state and output entirely in-process, with no device or simulator

For Plugin Developers#

• No breaking changes to the plugin architecture — add the ^4.0 constraint to your plugin's nativephp/mobile dependency and you're done
