Windows Community Toolkit has taken care of that.

Skype uses React Native, and given that React Native for Windows bashes Electron in every talk that they give with its 300x overheard bar charts, expect that when React Native for macOS and Linux get mature enough, which MS is also contributing for, that eventually all Electron in use gets replaced with React Native.

Also React Native is built on top of UWP.




> Skype uses React Native

I can't speak for the iOS and Android mobile-apps, but the Skype software on my Windows 10 desktop is still an Electron app.

EDIT: This article from March 2002 says as much - Microsoft is moving away from React Native and sticking with Electron: https://www.windowscentral.com/latest-skype-preview-version-...


Using the classical desktop version?

> Microsoft Skype is one of the largest React Native applications in the world.

The iOS and Android apps are using React Native - not the Windows Desktop Skype app.
