REACT FIXES NUMBER INPUT QUIRK, REACT NATIVE DEPRECATES INPUTACCESSORYVIEW

By RepoJournal ยท Filed ยท About Meta

React's Fiber engine stops working around a Chrome bug that was fixed four years ago, while React Native is consolidating input handling by deprecating iOS-only InputAccessoryView.

React shipped a fix [1] that removes special-case logic for number input defaultValue updates. Browsers fixed the underlying Chrome and WebKit bugs back in 2020, making the workaround obsolete and simplifying the codebase. This touches a core path in form handling, so test your number inputs on next canary. Meanwhile, React Native is deprecating InputAccessoryView [2] as part of keeping core lean; react-native-keyboard-controller's KeyboardStickyView is the blessed cross-platform replacement and it's time to migrate off the iOS-only component. On the infrastructure side, React Native fixed a performance leak [3] where shadow-node reference updates were happening on every tick instead of once during Fabric install. The team also patched module graph reachability [4] to keep setup-env available to Metro's serializer, and fixed the HelloWorld test preset [5] after removing the jest-preset redirect. A smaller fix [6] addresses decimal value parsing in transformOrigin, which was silently corrupting values like 12.5px.
