MapLibre React Native v11 becomes a new-architecture-only release with GL JS-aligned APIs.
MapLibre React Native v11 is a major release announced by the MapLibre team that drops legacy architecture support in favor of React Native’s new architecture and reshapes the API to feel closer to MapLibre GL JS. The release also adds features like scale bar support, TransformRequestManager, improved ViewAnnotation and Marker behavior, plus a long list of Android and iOS fixes aimed at stability and parity across platforms.
This is a meaningful platform reset, not a routine version bump.
- –The new-architecture-only decision is the real story: teams on older setups will need to plan a migration.
- –Aligning the API more closely with MapLibre GL JS should make cross-platform map code easier to reason about.
- –The release looks production-focused, with a lot of bug fixes around camera behavior, markers, annotations, and native integration.
- –For mobile teams already committed to React Native, this strengthens MapLibre as the open-source path forward for map rendering.
