However, the rushed released of this rewrite led to tons of bugs, lag, and layout issues. The performance of the rewrite was so atrocious that even flagship phones ($1000USD+) were unable to smoothly render the app, despite the older, ''actually'' native app working completely fine.

In December 2022, prior to the official release of the RNA (React Native Android) rewrite, Aliucord developers were able to obtain a rolling canary release of the main HBC (Hermes bytecode) bundle, containing the main portion of the app. Some efforts led to a partial re-implementation of the missing native portion, and gave a preview into the unreleased version. This also served as a testing ground to develop a new client mod, "AliucordRN", targeting the RNA app.
In late 2021, prior to the official release of the RNA (React Native Android) rewrite, Aliucord developers were able to obtain canary builds of the main HBC (Hermes bytecode) bundle, containing the main portion of the app. Some efforts led to a partial re-implementation of the missing native portion, and led to a working preview of the unreleased rewrite. This also served as a testing ground to develop a new client mod, "AliucordRN", targeting the RNA app. However, even 7 months after the official RNA release, efforts to develop AliucordRN dwindled due to the increase in difficulty compared to modding the old app. This was compounded by the unwillingness to actually use RNA, from the inferior UX it provided. Eventually, all efforts were abandoned. However, one of the original contributors to AliucordRN, [Zoey](https://github.com/NotZoeyDev), continued their efforts in a separate project aimed at creating a Discord client mod iOS: [https://github.com/enmity-mod Enmity].
 
Even after the official RNA release 7 months later, efforts to develop AliucordRN slowly dwindled due to the large increase in difficulty compared to modding the old app, compounded by the unwillingness to actually use RNA, from the inferior UX it provided. Eventually, all efforts were abandoned. However, AliucordRN served as the predecessor of [https://github.com/enmity-mod Enmity], a Discord client mod for iOS.
