Memory leaks in React Native usually come from resources that outlive the screen that created them: timers, subscriptions, unresolved requests, sockets, navigation listeners, heavy lists, image caches, and native module handles. The fix is not a single package. It is a repeatable loop: reproduce the leak, profile it in a realistic build, remove the retained reference, and verify that memory returns to a stable baseline.

FlatList is fast when each row is cheap, keys are stable, virtualization is tuned for the screen, and the data layer avoids unnecessary re-renders. It becomes slow when rows contain heavy images, anonymous render functions, unstable item references, eager API calls, and too many mounted views. This guide focuses on practical fixes you can apply to production feeds, chats, catalogs, and marketplace screens.

Continuous integration for React Native should do more than run npm test. A useful pipeline protects every pull request, builds signed release artifacts from clean commits, keeps secrets out of the repository, and makes app store submission repeatable.
