React's Profiler just got the component search feature developers have been requesting, while React Native patches a critical animation backend timing issue across 13 commits and 2 PRs.

React DevTools now lets you search by component name directly within the Profiler's commit view, covering both Flamegraph and Ranked charts [1]. Previously you could only search the live Components tree, not profiling data itself. The search mirrors Chrome DevTools' find behavior with Cmd/Ctrl+F support, closing a gap that made deep profiling sessions harder than they needed to be [2].

On the native side, React Native fixed a subtle but serious bug in animation backend initialization [4]. The AnimationBackend was trying to register surface callbacks before the UIManager had a delegate, making those callbacks no-ops. Now the backend constructs after the delegate is ready, ensuring animated props initialize correctly for each surface. This lands alongside work on lazy color fallbacks for PlatformColor [5], giving developers better control over native color token resolution when the device can't provide a match.

React experimental channel also flipped the conditional use warning flag for OSS builds [3], letting teams on the Vercel deployment test the behavior. Several internal iOS modules saw cleanup commits around the Turbo Module and Vibration APIs [6] [7], keeping the native layer current.
