We really love VS Code for React Native development and we encourage you to give it a shot. Here's a twitter thread on all the awesome extensions to get you up and running quick.
With the iPhone launching this week and the next Pixel announcement around the corner we enter the time of year where Apple and Android fans raise their pitchforks in solidarity ✊🏻. Fortunately as React Native developers each platform matters and we should be excited about all the updates 😉.
Regardless please argue over the specifics of your new phones amongst your team and enjoy this week's issue!
