How to reinstall iOS on an iPhone X where the touchscreen is unresponsive

My daughter's iPhone X got into a state where the touchscreen didn't respond to any touches. We force-restarted it several times by doing the "Up Volume, Down Volume, Hold Power" sequence, but it did not work -- the touchscreen stayed unresponsive.

I plugged it into my Mac with a lightning cable and went to Finder (because iTunes isn't available anymore). Clicking on the iPhone asks me to Trust it, but clicking Trust just results in a spinner. I think it wanted me to log into the iphone and tap Trust there, but of course I can't -- the touchscreen wasn't responding.

So, I figured out this alternative sequence.

Running Objective-C (sorta) from JavaScript directly

To do this:

const result = invokeObjC(`[[NSString stringWithString:[[[@[@"One", @"Two", @"Three"] mutableCopy] addObject:@"Four"] componentsJoinedByString:@" | "]] uppercaseString]`)
console.log(result) // "ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR"

I don't know how useful this will be. But ... it was enjoyable to play with!

Getting started with react-native-macos

React Native for macOS is a really powerful implementation of React Native for building Mac apps, but the RN macos documentation (as of today) is straight up wrong and won't work.

Here's how to spin one up!

Prerequisites

This assumes you are on a Mac and have installed all the prerequisites for RN iOS.

From Chain React 2024, the React Native panel hosted by Jamon Holmgren: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiyYKwXtftc&list=PLFHvL21g9bk0XOO9XK6d6S9w1jBU6Dz_U

We're working with Eli to update the showcase for React Native...the question was like, how many different projects did Amazon use React Native? So I started first going through our code repos and then I started talking to some different teams...I realized independently all these different consumer product lines across the company have been using React Native for years. First off, you obviously have the shopping app. Like, there's aspects of the shopping app that are native and there's many, many views inside the shopping app that are fully React native.
