Benefits Of Using React Native For Mobile App Development
As a developer or a business, you want the mobile applications to look good, be responsive, have short load times, and perform well on both iOS & Android. While there are a few programming languages and frameworks that can help you achieve that, React can do a better job.
Today we will talk about what React Native is?
We will also shed some light on the framework's benefits.
Let's get into it.
Hi are you available for hire or partnership in building react native app?
Where are the disadvantages? The bad performance for example. Or that you cannot use many native features such as gyro-sensor etc.
Edit: Also a typo in the 2nd subheading
Not sure when you last tried RN, but its development moves quickly! The new JS engine, Hermes, which is now available on both iOS and Android helps dramatically with performance. So long as the app is well built, I would say that you now can't tell whether an app is React Native or native.
You're also able to use basically all native features, including the gyro sensor.
Thx for the insight!
Is there even a reasonable alternative for cross-platform mobile dev, in 2021? I know Flutter still...exists...but other than that I'm hard-pressed to come up with any other sane route to building a mobile app for iOS and Android as a sole developer. I love UIKit as much at the next person (ok, probably more than the next person), but the ability to essentially just do
cd android; ./gradlew bundleand get a working-ish Android app for free from a working iOS app is too great to pass up.(And if you're not building iOS-first: why?)
Flutter is definitely a thing. It doesn't just "exist". It's flourishing and a better dev experience than any other cross platform mobile dev experience out there.
Because I have an Android, and I find it silly to have things like iOS only in 2021. See also: Clubhouse failing miserably on their Android launch (gave everyone else time to catch up). No excuses not to be cross platform nowadays, on launch.
Kotlin? I'm new to it, but already seeing so much potential as you can build literally everything on the same platform.
Kotlin/Native -> iOS, Android
Kotlin/JS -> Frontend
Ktor -> Backend
There is. We're using NativeScript-Vue. As our web application is written in Vue/Vuex, we get to reuse about 80% of the codebase.
Neat! 👍🏻 for the code re-use -- getting to share the same Redux code across platforms (web + mobile + desktop) has been a.ma.zing, and while I'm not a huge Vue fan (too AngularJS for me, but that's just taste, really) I'm glad to hear a success story from that camp!
As an amateur mobile app dev, I've found it better to use either SwiftUI or Flutter. I realize I'll be doing double the work, but there's far more support and help online for those languages.
Thank you for the article
