This week’s issue features articles about Shopify's migration of their Shopify Mobile app from native to RN and a time-saving technique for testing push notifications in an iOS Simulator.

Hello readers! Planning on Chain React this year?
If so, our very own Gant Laborde has written a helpful article that you can send to your boss to convince them of why this conference is worth the investment.

On to some highlights from the Top Picks for this issue, starting with a rather epic article describing how Shopify has been migrating their Shopify Mobile app from native to React Native. It covers their strategic approach, including their RN Accelerator training program that helped bring their native developers up to speed with React Native.

Another interesting article illustrates a technique for testing push notifications in an iOS Simulator. While the article isn't about React Native code per se, it is relevant to RN devs seeking an easy way to deliver a push notification payload to a simulator during development and testing.

There's a lot more to discover in today's issue. Enjoy!
