React Native + CopilotKit + AG-UI

[amrmelsayed]

I am trying to understand the process involved in building end to end React Native | Expo support, we are currently using CopilotKit React in our web application and it's working very well, I am looking for guidance on creating a React Native counterpart, I had a meeting with Nathan @NathanTarbert on Friday and he suggested I start here and get in touch with Markus @mme.

The end goal from a developer point of view would be an exact replica of the @copilotkit/react-ui but for React Native, my first impression would be to fork the main CopilotKit repo, update the dependencies to use React Native and Expo and build it up from there but I am not sure whether there is an RN AG-UI interface that is supposed to be built first before we built the actual hooks and components or whether the existing typescript-sdk implementation would suffice, I would appreciate some guidance on how to approach this project as our mobile AI experience is currently blocked until we figure out how to create the underlying building blocks.

Happy to jump on a quick call if it's easier for you guys.

Thank you very much and keep up the great work.

Sounds good!

In theory, the typescript sdk should be compatible with expo/React Native.

@mme I have started testing the TypeScript SDK into React Native and Expo using the LangGraphAgent, the first issue I had was a build error due to the reliance on the node / browser crypto modules which is not available in RN, I added a package patch polyfill using expo-standard-web-crypto to get it to work temporarily and have submitted a PR to simplify the process for cross platform development, have a look here and let me know your thoughts: #76
