macOS configuration
Install Nitro SQLite in a React Native macOS app and run the repository example.
Nitro SQLite supports React Native macOS. Install react-native-nitro-sqlite and react-native-nitro-modules in your app, then install CocoaPods from its macos directory and rebuild the native app:
cd macos && pod installBy default, macOS databases live in an app-specific Application Support directory. open({ name: 'app.sqlite', location: 'databases' }) puts the file in a databases directory beneath that root. A sandboxed app cannot open files outside its accessible containers.
Run the example
The repository's macOS example targets macOS 14 or later with React Native macOS 0.81. Install the workspace and example's Ruby dependencies, then run the example's pods:macos and macos scripts. It includes the SQLite, TypeORM, sqlite-vec, SQL console, and benchmark screens used by the mobile example.
To keep Metro in a separate terminal, run the start script in example/macos and launch the macos script with --no-packager. Pass --mode Release --no-packager to build and launch the production bundle.
The iOS configuration guide describes the shared Apple build flags for bundled SQLite, thread safety, performance mode, and vector search. Run CocoaPods from macos when applying those settings to a macOS app.
