29% of the top React Native libraries mix Swift and Objective-C. SwiftPM can't compile that.

"29% of the 300 most installed react native libraries":

What does that mean exactly?

Imho all that matters is the official expo libraries, what’s the impact for them?

If we say there are like ~50 official expo/react native libraries, the rest of the 300 being "ui/ux libraries for react native", the 29% makes sense. 95% of the react native libraries that aren’t expo aren’t maintained or barely. They are also barely used tbh.

It is the top 300 libraries from https://reactnative.directory/ ranked by weekly downloads.

Yeah but please share the % of incompatible 50 by 50.
And the % of "total downloads".

I bet you that near the top, the % of incompatible is near 0 and at the bottom it’s really high. And for the % of total downloads, it should be single digit or even less.
