[Drift] React Native OP-SQLite Barebones Demo removed; Examples page link now broken (powersync-js #1079) #586

Description

@benitav

What's changing: The React Native SDK's dedicated demos/react-native-barebones-opsqlite demo directory has been deleted from the repo. Since all React Native demos now use the OP-SQLite driver by default, a separate demo specifically for "using OP-SQLite" no longer serves a distinct purpose; it's replaced by a renamed, general-purpose demos/react-native-barebones demo. The PR also removes other stale in-repo references to the old standalone @powersync/op-sqlite package.

High priority — existing docs are now inaccurate or incomplete

  • Demo Apps & Example Projects (intro/examples.mdxhttps://docs.powersync.com/intro/examples), "React Native & Expo" → "Other" section, lists an "OP-SQLite Barebones Demo" with the description "This is a barebones example of using the OP-SQLite driver with the PowerSync React Native Client SDK." The linked directory no longer exists in the repo (PR #1079 deletes it entirely as part of this change), so the link is now dead, and the description's premise (a demo distinguishing OP-SQLite usage from other drivers) no longer applies now that all RN demos use OP-SQLite.

For reviewer consideration — worth documenting
None identified beyond the above.

Related: #525 (closed 2026-07-28) already covered the v2 SDK API-level fallout of consolidating @powersync/op-sqlite into @powersync/react-native (source PR powersync-js#1010) — the SDK reference, Expo Go support, data encryption, pre-seeded SQLite, client diagnostics, and full-text search pages. This issue covers a different page and a different source PR: the Examples page's demo link, which #525 did not identify since that demo directory's removal happened in this separate, later PR.
