Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Shopify is moving its major mobile apps from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin because coding agents have made maintaining two native implementations much cheaper. Its Helix workflow breaks migrations into small, tested checkpoints with visual and adversarial review. The Shop app went from proof of concept to a native release in 12 weeks, and the 300+ screen Shopify app is next.
