Do you think they've switched to another navigation framework? I've had some success with https://reactnavigation.org/ https://reactnavigation.org/ - although it's fairly early stage.

  We have actually be using an internal navigation framework that is unfortunately quite tightly coupled to our app. It's been working very week for us which is why we decided to make an open source "clone" of it. Our original intention was to migrate our internal navigation library over to the open source clone we made. However, with the realities of life, we haven't had the time to actually do that yet which is why we haven't been maintaining it. Like Leland said above, we're still working hard and making exciting progress on React Native but we continue to invest in native platforms as well and product teams make a case by case decision on which one to use. Hope that clarifies things a bit :)

There has been some consolidation in this area lately. Everyone should be on React Navigation from now onwards. https://github.com/react-community/react-navigation https://github.com/react-community/react-navigation

Assuming the person you're talking about was me, I'm curious what it was I said that made me seem less enthusiastic? I always try to be as honest as possible in my interviews, and I don't think my enthusiasm has changed much over the last year or two, though I certainly have learned a lot! I don't think Airbnb has ever been "completely going all-in on React Native" or "completely dropping React Native", but people always seem to want it to be one or the other. The truth is it's almost always something in the middle.
