Info

Don't use this library yet. It is still WIP. iOS is ready but Android recycling support is still missing.

Amazon IVS React Native Player Extended

This package provides native binding for the Amazon IVS Player for iOS and Android. It is based on the amazon-ivs-react-native package, but aims to ship features and PRs more rapidly as the official repository often lags behind. Moreover, this package offers greater flexibility, enabling the use of the IVS Player in a variety of ways. It supports FlashList and strives to handle recycling cases more effectively, taking inspiration from expo-image. (coming soon)
