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

[gluestack-ui](https://gluestack.io/ui/docs/home/overview/introduction) 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](https://gluestack.io/ui/docs/home/getting-started/installation) 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.
