React Native WebGPU

warnIfNotHardwareAccelerated

Log a warning when the GPU adapter is a software fallback.

Checks adapter.info.isFallbackAdapter and logs a console warning. Common on Android emulators where rendering may be slow or missing features.

Usage

Call once when the adapter becomes available, typically in a useEffect:

import {  } from "react";
import { ,  } from "react-native-webgpu";

export function () {
  const { ,  } = ();

  (() => {
    if () {
      ();
    }
  }, []);

  if (!) return null;

  // configure canvas, build pipelines…
  return null;
}

With GPUDeviceProvider, read the adapter from useMainDevice the same way:

function () {
  const {  } = ();

  (() => {
    if () ();
  }, []);

  return null;
}

This does not block rendering; it only logs. Test camera, native textures, and performance-critical paths on physical devices.
