Fun fact: almost all of the problems related to using pixi.js, phaser.js, three.js (and by extension AR) with React Native are related to (the deeply integrated) Metro bundler 
and how it loads assets.
-
Asset loading doesn't work with the three libraries I just listed, Dev tools (error messages, source maps) are still pretty not great, the whole thing is too deeply coupled with the rest of React Native. It'd be nice if people could use parcel, roll-up, webpack, etc...
Is there any specific that you think couples React Native and Metro?

Dev tools. There also appear to be hard coded metro values in RN. I would love to see a more agnostic system.
-
I'm mostly asking because I am writing a bundler for RN and haven't encountered any issues. Mirroring the Metro HTTP server endpoints are annoying, but I don't know of any agnostic way you could do it?

Metro and RN have tight integration for better and worse. For static assets, debugging modes, live/hot reload, stack trace click to source, even the refresh progress indicator.

I wouldn’t classify it as tight integration. There is a lot of custom endpoints and API, but nothing that prevents you from implementing it yourself outside of Metro? How do you propose they be decoupled and generic?

Loading seems to be taking a while.
