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.

MBP keyboard got me off code for the next 40 hours :/ if I see anything more specific than the problems I outlined, I'll let you know. Why a new bundler and not just added compatibility for all the existing options (asking cuz I'm working on RNWeb and other platform parity)
Sweet! Thank you! There's lots of reasons. There's two discussions here though. The relevancy of Metro, and replacing/improving it. And it's association with React Native. As for "why a new thing", my tweets about Rome are relevant here.
