+# LaunchDarkly React Native SDK - FDv2 Example App
+
+This is a minimal example app that demonstrates the experimental FDv2 data system
+for the React Native SDK.
+
+> **Note:** FDv2 support is `@internal` and experimental. It is not ready for
+> production use and may change or be removed without notice.
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+- SDK initialization with the `dataSystem` option (FDv2 protocol)
+- Connection mode switching for all FDv2 modes:
+  - **Streaming** - real-time flag updates with polling fallback
+  - **Polling** - periodic polling only
+  - **Offline** - cached flags only, no network
+  - **One-Shot** - initialize then stop (no persistent synchronizer)
+  - **Background** - low-frequency polling for background state
+  - **Automatic** - clear the override and use automatic mode selection
+- Context identification
+- Boolean flag evaluation
+
+## Quickstart
+
+1. At the js-core repo root, install dependencies and build:
+
+```shell
+yarn && yarn build
+```
+
+2. Create an `.env` file in this directory (`example-fdv2/`) with your mobile key:
+
+```shell
+LAUNCHDARKLY_MOBILE_KEY=mob-your-mobile-key-here
+```
+
+3. Update the flag key in `src/welcome.tsx` if needed (defaults to `sample-feature`).
+
+4. Run the app:
+
+```shell
+# iOS
+yarn ios
+
+# Android
+yarn android
+```
+
+> **Note:** You may need to run `npx expo prebuild` before the first iOS or
+> Android build.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- **Network-based automatic mode switching** is not yet implemented. The wiring
+  is in place, but `RNStateDetector` does not yet emit network state changes.
+  Lifecycle-based switching (foreground/background) works.
+- The `dataSystem` option and `setConnectionMode()` are marked `@internal` and
+  require `@ts-ignore` to use from TypeScript.
