## 🎯 Goal Deprecate the standalone `@stream-io/chat-react-native-ai` package and ship the AI components from the SDK itself, the same way React did in GetStream/stream-chat-react#3314. This is a direct port of [this part of the AI components repo](https://github.com/GetStream/ai-components-js/tree/main/packages/react-native-sdk), with some minor tweaks and fixes. Apps import them from a separate entry point: - `stream-chat-react-native/ai-components` - `stream-chat-expo/ai-components` Apps that don't import it are unaffected: no extra JS in their bundle (+61 bytes, one empty native-handler slot) and no new required dependencies. ## 🛠 Implementation details **Port.** Markdown, syntax highlighting, charts, the AI composer and dictation are ported 1:1. The only deliberate changes are: - `ShimmeringView` is removed; the typing indicator uses the SDK's native shimmer, laid over the text. - If the dictation module isn't compiled in, the mic button hides itself instead of crashing. - `react-syntax-highlighter` moves to v16, for the Prism CVE. - The native code is registered by the two wrappers instead of a separate package. **Isolation.** `validate-entry-isolation` (part of `yarn lint`) fails if the main entry points ever reach the AI code or its dependencies. It also fails if the AI entry reaches the chat SDK, so AI-only apps don't bundle chat. Both directions are confirmed with real Metro bundles. **Dependencies.** The JS-only libraries (zod, the highlighter, simple-markdown, state-store) are regular dependencies. Skia and victory-native are optional peers, needed only by apps that use the AI components. **Native.** - **PerfText:** an Android Fabric text view with a C++ shadow node, built through a custom CMakeLists in each wrapper. - **AIDictation:** a TurboModule for both platforms. - **iOS dictation is opt-in:** enable it with `$StreamChatEnableDictation = true` in the Podfile, or with the new `stream-chat-expo` config plugin. Referencing the Speech framework makes App Store Connect require a speech-recognition purpose string from every app, so it isn't compiled in by default. - **Android:** the library never declares `RECORD_AUDIO`. **Fixes on top of the port**, mostly bugs inherited from upstream: - A final dictation result arriving after recording stops is now applied to the input. - Android no longer cuts users off mid-sentence when the recognizer sends no live results. - The iOS first press no longer races the permission prompts. - Per-method lodash imports (-45.6 KB min) and direct `react-syntax-highlighter` imports (-369 KB min), both in AI bundles only. - The native shimmer now links on RN 0.76 iOS (`StreamShimmerViewCls`), an existing v9 issue. **Samples.** SampleApp gets an "AI Assistant" screen. The Expo ChatGPT sample from `ai-components-js` is ported as `examples/ExpoChatGPTSample` (Expo 57). **Migration.** See `package/src/ai-components/README.md`: the new import path, the Podfile flag and plugin rename, the Babel plugin `zod` needs, and the removed exports. ## 🧪 Testing ## 🎨 UI Changes --------- Co-authored-by: Anton Arnautov <arnautov.anton@gmail.com>
