Feature Request
Expected behavior

For Go and Gear already
Like if we where in React Native for VR.

Totally understandable that you want to be able to sell apps in the store.
What you're asking for is actually an enormous undertaking. In order to deliver native apps on Go, we'd need an entirely different runtime to execute your React code. When you then take into account other app stores, we'd have to again rebuild the runtime for each of those as well. That's a lot of work.
Right now we are committed to working closely with the Oculus Browser team to make React 360 apps in Browser feel as native as possible. We have some cool techniques we're exploring that would let us use the same graphical tricks as Oculus's own first-party native apps. We're also beginning to explore how we can help React 360 developers monetize their work – it's very early, but we're aware of the need.
