3.0.0-alpha.49 (2026-09-14)

• refactor!: use a render callback instead of NavigationContent for custom navigators (#13238) (c9c119e), closes #13238 - by @satya164

BREAKING CHANGES

• this changes the API for custom navigators:

-const { NavigationContent } = useNavigationBuilder(Router, props);
+const { render } = useNavigationBuilder(Router, props);

-return (
-  <NavigationContent>
-    <NavigatorView />
-  </NavigationContent>
+return render(
+  <NavigatorView />
 );

custom navigators now must use the returned render function from
useNavigationBuilder instead of the NavigationContent.

the previous API isn't feasible while maintaining concurrent safety.

BREAKING CHANGES

• Users will need to update their code to use onChange.
• The types previously specified with RootParamList using global augmentation will stop working.
• it now accepts an object with 3 properties:

• landscape
• modalPresentation
• topInset

• layout args are dropped to improve performance during window resize if consumers need layout, it's recommended to measure directly
• Not having react native screens installed will now fail the build
• Background color can instead be applied by using it from useTheme
• the minimum required version for react-native-web is now ~0.21.0

Motivation

By replacing usages of pointerEvents to use styles instead of props, we won't get an annoying warning in the logs.

The underlying issue in React Native Web which prevented children of a pointer-events: box-none element from receiving pointer events is resolved by https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/pull/2789.

A follow-up fix to React Native Testing Library was also required, PR here https://github.com/callstack/react-native-testing-library/pull/1799.

• This bumps the minimum required versions of various peer deps
