What is React Native & How it
is used in Mobile App
Development?
Mobile apps have become a regular in an individual’s life. There are so many apps available
in the mobile app store for various purposes. All the apps are categorized according to the
purpose of their usage.
Mobile apps have made life easier. From interaction and communication through chat apps
to making friends on social media - everything happens through the mobile app. There is an
app practically for everything. The more the apps seem user friendly and interactive, the
more goes in the back of the app to make it seamless and effortless.
There are so many frameworks, resources, and tools that developers use to develop mobile
apps. Various tools provide varied functionality to effectively solve the problems of the
users. Among the tools, one of the most widely used tools is React Native. What is it? Let us
take a look.
What is React
Native?
If you want to jump into React native app development,
then the react native framework is the best tool you can
use. With react native, also known as RN, you can develop
mobile applications using JavaScript. In a normal situation,
the mobile apps use Java while developing an Android
mobile app while Swift or Obj-C for app development for
iOS.
With React Native, you can develop mobile apps that
function efficiently on both platforms. Additionally, the
development time is reduced significantly as the coding is
done in the same language, regardless of the platform.
React Native is a framework launched by Facebook around
the year 2015 as an open-source. Facebook had also
launched ReactJS, also known as React, for mobile
development.
Importance of
Using React
Native
1. Trustworthy
2. Cross-Platform Compatibility
3. Coding in a Familiar Programming Language
4. Continuously Growing
5. Consumes Less Time
6. Platform Consistency
7. Larger Audience
Sustainable
Code
As React Native supports cross-platform development,
one codebase can work to develop apps for Android and iOS
platforms. To develop a native mobile app, you need to write
different codes for changing platforms. This requirement is
eliminated by using React Native app development. Thus,
a React Native Android App doesn’t need to be reframed to
develop a React Native iOS app.
Looking at the benefits of React Native, it is not hard to
guess why it is widely preferred for mobile app
development. Similar to React Native launched by Facebook,
there are various other mobile app development
frameworks provided by various companies. The same tools
also offer cross-platform compatibility. Following are the
frameworks under consideration:

Flutter
Google also released an open-source framework called Flutter which aided developers in
building cross-platform compatible mobile apps. With Flutter, it is easy to work with a new
feature set while putting a fast refresh feature of it to good use. You can instantly see the
changes made by the developer without restarting the app. Comparing Flutter vs. React Native,
Flutter can stand along with React Native because of the benefits it has to offer.
Xamarin
Microsoft also came up with its open-source solution which enables the developers to share
from 75%-90% of the code between the apps. Since it is developed using the language called
C#, it is difficult to be adopted by the developers. The developers that intend to work
with xamarin development need to learn C# which is a little more difficult compared to
JavaScript. When we talk about Xamarin vs. React Native, the latter happens to be the most
preferred framework for mobile app development.
Examples of Apps That Use React Native:
Since the launch of React Native in 2015, so many companies have used the
framework to develop native-looking mobile applications. Let us take
the examples of React Native apps to see how we have been using them without
knowing React Native:
Facebook: Facebook used react-native to develop its mobile app.
Skype: Skype was redesigned and redeveloped from scratch in 2017 using React Native.
Instagram: To integrate push notifications, Instagram used React Native into an already existing
Instagram app.
Walmart: Walmart used react native to design and develop its application from scratch by
writing the entire code in react native.
UberEats: UberEats is one of the apps that form the list of apps that
use react native for its development. Their development team did not
have experience working with Android and iOS and the selection of
React Native happened obviously.
Pinterest: Pinterest initially worked with Gestalt. Since Gestalt and
React Native were part of the same game, the development of
Pinterest did not take a lot of time and effort.
React Native has been elemental in mobile app
development since its inception. If you are looking to
develop platform-independent mobile app
development, then React Native is an answer. If you
look at the benefits and importance of React Native,
you can see how you can save time, cost, and effort for
mobile app development. All the popular apps that we
use on a day to day basis have started using React
Native to encompass all the benefits it has to offer.
