@dubiao the short answer is you'll need to write a native module to expose this platform behavior (for something like a serial port you're not going to find existing modules for Android or iOS I'm guessing ;)). We're currently landing more support for this in our 0.61 milestone. @stmoy Can you provide the best documentation links here?

The React Native Windows page has documentation for modules now. Closing this issue.
