🪨 Rock is a modular toolkit for teams building React Native apps. It helps improve build times and developer experience while fitting into your existing workflows and infrastructure.

Key Features

☁️ Remote Build Cache
Save up to 96% of build time by reusing native artifacts (APK, AAB, APP, IPA) across machines and CI. Use built‑in integrations for GitHub, S3, and R2 or bring your own storage.

🔗 Brownfield ready
Add React Native to existing iOS and Android apps using Rock Brownfield.

🔌 Modular & Extensible
A plugin‑driven architecture that lets you customize platforms, bundlers, cache providers, and more.

🖥️ Cross‑platform‑ready
iOS and Android by default; designed to extend to TVs, macOS, and Windows (coming soon).

⚡ Easy Community CLI Migration
A familiar CLI that helps you develop, run, and build your app. Migrate from Community CLI in minutes.

Installation

Choose your path based on your current situation:

Creating a new project

Consider Expo First
For new projects, we recommend starting with Expo for the best developer experience and similar remote caching capabilities. Rock is designed for teams who have outgrown the Community CLI.

To create a fresh React Native app with Rock, open a terminal and run:

npm create rock

Migrating an existing Community CLI project

To migrate an existing project, open a terminal in your project root and run:

npm create rock

Adding to an existing native project

To add React Native to an existing iOS or Android app with Rock, use our Brownfield plugins:

npm create rock
# ...
