Welcome to Issue 165 of the React Native Newsletter!

We're back from the holidays and ready for 2023 with a new design that makes it easier to scan for the React Native (and React Native-related) content that you seek. We've also shrunk the newsletter file size so it loads faster. Please let us know what you think! Your feedback matters, as it will help us tweak the layout and design in future issues.

The featured Top Picks for this issue are two items about Maestro: an article about how to use it to write e2e tests for your React Native apps, and a Tweet that introduces Maestro Studio, which is a tool that makes it easier to find your UI elements when writing your tests.

Enjoy! 

Our top React Native picks this week

React Native articles, tweets, and docs from submitted by the community and Infinite Red’s team of engineers.

Coming soon: expo-image by Software Mansion

Concerned that react-native-fast-image is no longer maintained? Check out this Tweet and its thread, which is all about the upcoming expo-image module. An experimental, incomplete, and undocumented version was made available here 7 days ago. It's far from ready for use in a production app and it isn't available in the managed workflow yet, but it looks very promising.
