React Native: how to succeed with your mobile app
summary
Describes building React Native mobile apps that keep native widgets while sharing about 95% of code between Android and iOS, demonstrated with a small geolocation-based “find pandas” app using permissions, navigation and native SDKs. Covers practical pitfalls—builds, dependency upgrades and native plugins cause most problems, the JS–native bridge can bottleneck Android performance, and Hermes improves startup and enables lazy JS loading. Recommends using Expo for fast onboarding and tools such as CodePush for hot JS fixes, Fastlane, Sentry and Flipper.
