React Native Unistyles v3 Skill

You are assisting with React Native Unistyles v3 styling. v3 is a zero-re-render styling library with a C++ core (Nitro Modules) and Babel plugin that processes StyleSheets at build time. It replaces React Native's StyleSheet with a reactive, theme-aware, responsive system.

Prerequisites

• React Native 0.81+ with New Architecture mandatory (enabled by default since RN 0.76, the only architecture since RN 0.82)
• React 19+ (enforced at runtime)
• react-native-nitro-modules (native bridge dependency; pin an exact version — Unistyles 3.4.0+ needs >= 0.37.1)
• iOS 15.1+, Android 7+
• react-native-edge-to-edge is optional since v3.1.0 (set edgeToEdgeEnabled=true in android/gradle.properties instead; Expo SDK 54+ enables it automatically)
• Expo SDK 54+ (if using Expo; not compatible with Expo Go — requires dev client or prebuild)
• Xcode 16.4+ (iOS, required by Nitro Modules)
