Theres 2 skills. One is a setup skill and the other for writing stories.

I have spent more time on the setup part currently, but I have plans to do more with writing stories and building components.

Wouldn't it be nice to have all platforms in a single
@storybook.js.org window?

@chmal.it and myself worked on this prototype to stream your local simulators to the Storybook canvas. Let us know if you're interested in this!

How to Cleanly Swap Between React Native Storybook 10 and Your App Set up React Native Storybook 10 with Expo or the Community CLI. Learn configuration steps, updated tools and a simple workflow for toggling Storybook.

What better way to start my time at Callstack than with a new blog post! React Native Storybook today is not the same as it was years ago. Now you can easily remove storybook from your bundle just by disabling it with the metro helper.

Check out the post to find out more

Switching between Storybook and your app is now easier than ever. With Metro updates, the new Storybook helper, and Expo env vars, the workflow is insanely smooth.

This happens on expo 53 if you have the compiler enabled, it was fixed in 54 or you can disable the conpiler. If not that then it could be the metro config wrapper (withstorybook) is not applied.

Really excited that I got the chance to write a post for the Expo blog. Thanks so much to expo for the opportunity.

This is also the first time I wrote about sharing React Native Storybook. I spent a long time to find an easy approach. (The trick is eas submit and test flight)

I saw this one time thats probably react-native-svg either not found or not loading correctly. I would try checking the rn svg version and if adjusting that doesn’t work then can you try reproducing in a fresh project and sending it to me?

In the closing panel for React Native Universe, we discuss cross-platform development with React Native. I talk about how the future of React Native Storybook will likely involve reducing dependencies for better compatibility across platforms.

you don't need to use the stories directory, you can put stories anywhere as long as you update the stories regex

.rnstorybook is for the storybook on the mobile device
.storybook is for the react native web storybook
