Description

Maybe it's not possible, but it would be awesome if we were able to use this https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nshapticfeedbackperformer/1441738-perform to provide user feedback when dragging or hovering.

Research direction
This issue asks about supporting haptic feedback on the force touch trackpad via React Native macOS. The referenced Apple API is NSHapticFeedbackPerformer. Since the repository is deprecated and the issue is from 2016, first confirm if react native macos is still maintained or if users should migrate to react native windows. If pursuing, investigate how to bridge native macOS APIs (Objective C) into React Native, possibly using native modules. Check if any existing React Native modules for haptics exist. No linked PRs or assignees, so the task is open but unclear in scope.
