The library hard-requires React Native >= 0.78 and the New Architecture. According to the State of React Native 2025 survey, New Architecture adoption reached 80% — meaning roughly 1 in 5 teams is still on the legacy bridge. The prior year's survey put adoption at ~50%, showing migration is ongoing but far from complete.
Also, based on npm download stats, approximately 33% of React Native weekly downloads are still on versions older than 0.78. Source: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native?activeTab=versions
Large brownfield apps and enterprise codebases on older RN versions can't realistically adopt a sandboxing library that requires the New Architecture. Supporting bridge mode, even as a best-effort tier, would open the library to a meaningfully wider audience.
If this is a use-case approved for this library, would be happy to contribute a pull-request.
