RNOH Community Edition Roadmap (2026)

This document is the community version roadmap. Specific content and timing may be adjusted based on upstream community and actual progress. Final reference is community announcements.

Background

RNOH (React Native OpenHarmony) community version aims to provide development experience and API capabilities on HarmonyOS devices as consistent as possible with React Native upstream community.

To ensure ecosystem consistency and controllable long-term maintenance costs, RNOH needs:

• Align with upstream version rhythm: Follow upstream major releases at a reasonable pace.
• Focus on key versions: Prioritize adapting versions with greatest impact on business and ecosystem, not "full version coverage".
• Balance stability and innovation: Introduce upstream feature updates and performance optimization while ensuring existing business stability.

In 2026, upstream community plans about 6 release versions. RNOH community plans to focus on adapting 4 of them, progressing through quarterly rhythm.
