Gluestack UI v5 skips Next.js for now — stay on v4 or split your surfaces

UpdatedSeptember 16, 2026

gluestack-ui sells a clear promise: copy-paste components that work across React, React Native, and (historically) Next.js, with theming you control. The current installation guide for v5 adds a hard platform note that changes what you should do today: gluestack-ui v5 does not currently support Next.js. Next.js support returns when NativeWind v5 adds web support. Until then, Next.js projects are pointed at the v4 documentation.

That is not a buried footnote. It is a ship/don't-ship gate for anyone who planned one universal UI install across a marketing web app and a mobile client. Mobile-first Expo / React Native work can move to v5.

This is an excerpt. Read the full post at otf-kit.dev/blog/gluestack-v5-no-nextjs-yet — full-stack kits your AI coding agent can actually ship to production. Browse the kits →
