What's inside Rock

Introduction to Rock
main
Rock is a modular toolkit designed for teams building React Native applications. It aims to improve build times and developer experience by providing a flexible architecture that integrates into existing workflows and infrastructure.
Rock is particularly useful for addressing challenges such as:
- Build times: Enabling reuse of builds across CI jobs and development teams.
- Infrastructure control: Allowing teams to host everything on their own infrastructure (e.g., GitHub Actions, Amazon S3, BitBucket).
- Platform diversity: Supporting iOS, Android, and experimental HarmonyOS, with future support for TVs, macOS, and Windows.
- Brownfield integration: Embedding React Native into existing native applications.

Overview of Rock features
main
Rock is a modular toolkit for React Native teams designed to improve build times and developer experience. Key capabilities include:
- Remote Build Cache: Reuses native artifacts (APK, AAB, APP, IPA) across machines and CI (supports GitHub, S3, R2, or custom storage) to reduce build times by up to 96%.
- Brownfield Support: Specialized plugins to add React Native to existing native iOS and Android apps.
- Modular Architecture: A plugin-driven system for customizing platforms, bundlers, and cache providers.
- Cross-platform: Native support for iOS and Android, with future support planned for macOS, Windows, and TVs.
