  One of the most frustrating moments in React Native development is perfecting your navigation logic, only to have it break completely when accessed via a deep link. The scenario is all too common: You have a standard navigation flow that works perfectly within the app. You click a user, you go to their details, then to their settings. The path looks like  /user/123/settings . However, when you trigger  myapp://user/123/settings  externally, one of two things happens: You get a  404 Unmatched Route  screen. The screen renders, but your dynamic ID ( 123 ) comes back as  undefined , crashing your API calls. If you are struggling with  useLocalSearchParams  returning empty objects during deep linking or navigation state hydration issues in deeply nested stacks, this guide is the definitive fix. The Root Cause: Parameter Scoping and Hydration To fix this, you must understand how Expo Router (built on top of React Navigation) handles URL parsing ...

  The transition to React Native’s New Architecture is no longer experimental; it is the standard. With the release of version 0.74+,   Bridgeless Mode   is enabled by default. This mode completely dismantles the legacy React Native Bridge, relying exclusively on JSI (JavaScript Interface) for communication between the JavaScript realm and Native code. While this results in faster startup times and synchronous native execution, it introduces a critical blocking point: legacy native libraries. When you flip  newArchEnabled=true , you may encounter immediate crashes with errors resembling  Invariant Violation: TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing(...): 'X' could not be found . This indicates a native module failed to register via the TurboModule system, and because the Bridge is gone, the fallback mechanism failed. This guide details how to diagnose these failures and implements two solutions: configuring the Interop Layer for third-party libraries and migrating custo...
