Follow-up to #958.

storybookjs/storybook#37183 ("Preview API: Skip the landmark navigation listener in RN") shipped in storybook@11.0.0-beta.1. It's in the release notes, and the published package calls addEventListener?.("react-aria-landmark-navigation", …). To check, I extracted npm pack storybook@11.0.0-beta.1 and ran grep -rl 'addEventListener?.("react-aria-landmark-navigation"' package/dist. It matches dist/preview/_chunks/runtime-*.js and dist/_browser-chunks/chunk-*.js. With that guard in Storybook itself, our workaround isn't needed.

Changes

• packages/react-native/src/Start.tsx: removed the setupListeners() override in ReactNativePreview that briefly stubbed globalThis.addEventListener, along with its comment and TODO. renderSelection and teardownRender are unchanged.

• storybook and @storybook/* dependencies and devDependencies are now ^11.0.0-beta.1 (via pnpm update-storybook-deps --version '^11.0.0-beta.1'), and the lockfile is updated. The lockfile loses some entries because beta.1 bundles its test libraries (Test: Bundle the test libraries and their types, upgrade to Vitest 5 storybook#37143) and makes react-docgen optional (React: Make react-docgen optional and drop builder docgen deps from the default install storybook#37141).

• Peer floors are raised from ^11.0.0-beta.0 to ^11.0.0-beta.1. That's storybook in every package, plus @storybook/react in addon-ondevice-notes. No other peers changed.

• A patch changeset for @storybook/react-native.

• @storybook/mcp is updated from ^10.6.0 to ^11.0.0-beta.1. update-storybook-deps had it on its ignore list from when it had its own 0.x versions. Since 10.6 it's released alongside storybook, so the script now includes it. Only @storybook/addon-react-native-server is still skipped.

• The select-story MCP tool's description pointed agents at list-all-documentation, a tool @storybook/mcp already calls docs-list (in 10.6.6 too). It now says docs-list with withStoryIds: true.

Checks

All of these pass:

• pnpm install
• pnpm build
• pnpm test: packages/react-native 79 tests, including storySorts.test.ts and updateView.test.ts, which failed without the workaround; expo-example 32 passed, 2 skipped; plus the tests package (node test runner), ondevice-actions and react-native-ui
• pnpm check:types
• pnpm lint
• pnpm format:check
• pnpm repo:lint

Device testing

I ran examples/expo-example against this branch's Metro on an iOS 27 simulator (iPhone 17e) and an Android 15 emulator (Pixel 9), both using SDK 58 / RN 0.88 dev builds.

• The served iOS and Android bundles contain Storybook 11.0.0-beta.1's guarded addEventListener?.("react-aria-landmark-navigation", …) and none of the removed stub.
• On both platforms the app starts without errors. The only warnings are the existing color-control ones, which next also shows.
• Selecting a story through the channel server (select-story-sync) and in the on-device story list (Boolean / On) renders it.
• An updateStoryArgs event re-renders the story with the new args.

MCP server

With @storybook/mcp 11.0.0-beta.1 I started Metro for examples/expo-example and called the server at http://localhost:7007/mcp directly. initialize and tools/list work, and tools/list returns docs-list, docs-show, docs-show-story, get-storybook-story-instructions and select-story.

• docs-list lists the example's components.
• docs-show (controlexamples-controlexample) returns its props.
• docs-show-story (controlexamples-controlexample--example) returns the story snippet.
• select-story (controlexamples-boolean--on) reports the story as selected.

After the bump, pnpm build, test, check:types, lint, format:check and repo:lint all pass.
