React Native
React Native is our choice when teams want one mobile codebase across iOS and Android while staying close to the React ecosystem. It works well for product apps that need native capabilities without maintaining two separate teams.
Why we use it
- /Shared codebase across iOS and Android
- /Strong fit for teams already working with React and TypeScript
- /Access to native APIs when platform-specific behaviour is needed
- /Fast iteration without giving up a maintainable mobile architecture
When we reach for it
- /Products launching on iOS and Android together
- /Teams already invested in React and TypeScript
- /Apps that need some native integrations but mostly shared product logic
- /Existing React Native applications that need stabilising or scaling
We use React Native when shared development creates a real advantage and the app does not justify two fully separate native codebases.
We keep platform-specific behaviour explicit where it matters, test on real iOS and Android devices, and set up navigation, permissions, releases, crash reporting, and native integrations as part of the product foundation.
Common questions
What is React Native used for?+
React Native is used to build iOS and Android applications from a shared JavaScript or TypeScript codebase while still accessing native platform capabilities.
When should we choose React Native instead of native development?+
React Native is a strong fit when most product logic is shared across platforms and the benefits of one codebase outweigh the need for fully separate native implementations.
Is React Native suitable for production apps?+
Yes. With good architecture, native integrations, testing, monitoring, and release processes, React Native can support large, long-lived production applications.
Can React Native access native device features?+
Yes. React Native can integrate with cameras, location, notifications, Bluetooth, background processing, and other platform APIs through native modules and libraries.
Can you take over an existing React Native app?+
Yes. We can review an existing codebase, improve performance and architecture, reduce technical debt, resolve native integration issues, and support ongoing releases.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play releases?+
Yes. We can support signing, build automation, staged rollouts, crash reporting, and submission workflows for both iOS and Android.
