Achieving Android 15 Edge to Edge compatibility for your React Native App.
And make your Android App stand out!
Gautham Vijayan | Lead React Native Developer
Android 15 is around the corner and Google has introduced a new requirement for apps where their app has to be Edge-to-edge compatible and it will be enabled by default for all the apps if the device runs on API Level 35.
The latest version as of October 12, 2024 is Android 14 with API Level 34 which does not require your app to be Edge-to-edge compatible.
In this post, I will explain how to make your React Native application Edge-to-edge compatible with help of a new library made by Zoontek called react-native-edge-to-edge, where I will explain step by step process of converting your app Android 14 powered app to a Android 15 compatible app with an existing project of mine.
Let’s get into it.
Prerequisites & Installation
This post assumes that you have already setup a react native project above 0.73+ and your target SDK is 34.
Install the following library in your React Native project from your terminal
