Still hard to figure out how to send events

When trying to implement the new event emitter pattern.
Can we still rely on RCTEventEmitter on new arch or that is something that will be removed?

These examples are quite outdated(React Native 0.71)
We have better examples in the new documentation: ios, with events

We will add more guides in the future. For the swift support, is should not be much different though: you still need a wrapper in objective-C++ that extends the module and the wrapper needs to be composed with the swift implementation. You can pass to swift a delegate with the wrapper and call the emit from there. RCTEventEmitter is the old architecture way to emit events, now that we have type-safe event emitters generated by codegen.

Thank you for the amazing work!

I guess many libraries prefer to use swift over objective c++.
We're not quite sure how to use objective c++ swift wrapper on new arch.
Can you provide an example with that configuration?

On bridge docs we're adding that feature like this:

Objective C

@interface RCT_EXTERN_MODULE(SomeAwesomeLibraryInObjC, NSObject)
// the methods
@end

Swift

@objc(SomeAwesomeLibraryInObjC)
class SomeAwesomeLibrary

But i'm sure that will not work on new arch.
