This post is from the WWDC26 Foundation Models Q&A.

What’s the supported integration path for Foundation Models and Apple Intelligence from a React Native app — thin Swift native module, App Intents only, or are these features effectively Swift-first?

Answered by Frameworks Engineer in 892923022

There is no official React Native binding for the Foundation Models framework.

For Expo/React Native apps with committed ios/ projects, is a thin Swift native module wrapping Foundation Models the recommended pattern, or does App Review / platform policy expect FM usage only from fully native UI flows?

Are there memory, background, or entitlement constraints that make FM impractical when invoked from RN via a bridge (vs pure SwiftUI)?
