React Native 0.57.7 Support, Updated Android SDK Support, Variable Animation Speed, and more!

--

January is another important month for updating our platform to work with the latest React and Android SDKs. We now support Android API 28, the latest GVR, and React 0.57.7.

Latest Release Updates

React Native 0.57.7

Viro now supports the React Native 0.57.7 platform.

Android Target API Level 28 Support

Viro now supports Android Target API level 28. This is needed since as of November 2018. Google play store now does not accept APKs built using any targets older than 26. Along with API level 28, Viro also works with 26 & 27, if needed.

Variable Animation Speed Playback and Time Offset

Using ViroCore, you can now set variable animation speed during playback and also set the time offset to start the animation from any frame. Combine the two to enable cool effects, like freezing an animation in a point in time (as seen in the top image).

…and more!
