Voltra

Voltra is a React Native library that enables developers to build iOS Live Activities, Dynamic Island layouts, and Android Home Screen Widgets using JSX, eliminating the need to write native Swift, Kotlin, or SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose Glance code directly. It leverages React Native's familiar development workflow, including Fast Refresh, and provides a unified approach for styling with React Native style props and platform-native modifiers. Key features include support for ActivityKit push tokens and FCM for server-driven updates, a new Flexbox layout engine for iOS (introduced in v1.2.0 via `Voltra.View`), and capabilities for server-driven widgets and charts (introduced in v1.3.0). The current stable package version is 1.4.0, with a release cadence that has included significant feature additions in recent minor versions. It is compatible with Expo Dev Client and bare React Native projects, using an Expo config plugin to automatically wire native extension targets. This library aims to streamline cross-platform native surface development for React Native engineers.
