In the era of millennials, we always look for swift development cycles, awesome performance and highly engaging apps. Opting for different development process for different operating systems i.e. iOS and Android sounds to be a headache. No wonder if a person has to compromise with either the development time or better user engagement.

The idea of building mobile apps using only one methodology sounds to be inconceivable, however React Native has taken charge to build such mobile apps. Despite of the fact that React Native is not since a long time in the market, still holds the capability to accelerate the process of creating mobile apps across different platforms.

Let’s have a sneak peak into these mobile apps. We are sure you must have heard about all of these:

1. Facebook
React Native was brought to life through a Facebook Hackathon Project which was started due to the need arising within the company to bring all the advantages of web development – such as quick iterations and having a single team develop the complete application for mobile. They have applied it in mobile development for both Android and iOS apps

Why choose React Native?
Facebook initially developed it only for iOS and now with the usage of Android operating system on the rise, have included compatible UI’s for both platforms. Facebook also created their own ads manager app using react native for both platforms. Both these versions were developed by the same team.

Facebook has also made React Native open source to provide convenience and compatibility for the development community to operate other platforms like Microsoft.

Result:
All improvements were made at the framework level which will assist when migrating to the latest version of the React Native app.

2. Walmart
Walmart has always been known to be innovative having been one of the first few to adopt Node.js. They are one of the first few to have built a new app completely on React Native, improving the performance on iOS and Android. The time and resources taken to create the app were reduced drastically, sharing 96% of the codebase.

Why choose React Native?

Why choose React Native?
Overall the test results were positive and the developer team found it easier and time-saving to work on the React Native framework. Also, they were able to develop the applications almost by themselves without inputs from specialized mobile developers.
