Support native lists

[dylancom]

Back in 2018 it was written that once changes are completed, it would be straightforward to implement native components like UICollectionView and RecyclerView (https://reactnative.dev/blog/2018/06/14/state-of-react-native-2018#architecture). Is this already the case as I haven't seen any package based on UICollectionView?
Unfortunately FlatList doesn't give the same perf / feeling as native (blank screens on fast scrolling large lists) and the lack of native features such as "index titles" (to scroll fast trough your content: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicollectionviewdatasource/2851455-indextitles).

This is absolutely the most prominent limitation of react native. Implementing native list would be an absolute game changer.

The blog you are referring to talks about the "new architecture" which is still a work in progress. You can find more details here:

• React Native Fabric (UI-Layer Re-architecture) #4
• JSI (JavaScript Interface) & JSC (JavaScript Core) Discussion #91
• TurboModules (NativeModules Re-architecture) #40

per each of the major parts.

In the meantime, I believe there are some workarounds you can use with standard flatlists (tweaking the configs of specific lists - see the docs for more) or third party packages that provide more "powerful" lists implementations.
