What's the difference between React Native and React web development?

React Native builds mobile apps for iOS and Android using native components, while React web builds browser-based applications. React Native developers need mobile-specific skills: native modules, platform APIs, app store deployment, device testing, and mobile performance optimization. The syntax is similar, but the platform concerns are completely different.

Can React Native developers work with native iOS and Android code?

Yes. Our React Native developers can write and maintain native modules in Swift/Objective-C for iOS and Kotlin/Java for Android. They understand when to use native code vs JavaScript, how to bridge native APIs, and how to optimize performance-critical paths with native implementations.

How do you handle app store submissions and releases?

We handle the entire app store submission process: preparing builds, managing certificates and provisioning profiles, writing app descriptions, creating screenshots, navigating review guidelines, and managing staged rollouts. We use Fastlane for automation and can set up CI/CD pipelines that build and submit automatically.

How do you test React Native apps on real devices?

We test on physical iOS and Android devices, not just simulators. We use device farms for automated testing, maintain a device lab for manual testing, and test on various screen sizes and OS versions. We catch platform-specific issues, performance problems, and device compatibility issues before release.

Hire React Native Developers Who Build Native-Feeling Mobile Apps

Q: Do React Native apps perform as well as native apps?

For most apps, yes. React Native uses native components and can bridge to native code for performance-critical features. Our developers optimize bundle sizes, use native modules strategically, profile performance regularly, and optimize animations and rendering. For apps requiring heavy graphics or complex native features, we'll recommend native development.

React Native isn't just React for mobile—it's a completely different platform with unique challenges. Our React Native developers understand mobile development: native modules, platform APIs, app store deployment, device testing, and mobile performance optimization.

They know when to use native code vs JavaScript, how to bridge iOS and Android APIs, and how to optimize apps for mobile performance. They've shipped apps to millions of users and understand what it takes to build mobile apps that feel native, not like web apps in a wrapper.

Mobile-Specific Expertise You Need

React Native development requires mobile expertise, not just React knowledge.

Building mobile apps is different from building web apps. Our React Native developers understand mobile platforms deeply—they know iOS and Android APIs, understand mobile performance characteristics, and can navigate app store requirements. Here's what sets them apart:

Native Module Development

When JavaScript isn't enough, our developers write native code. They can create Swift/Objective-C modules for iOS and Kotlin/Java modules for Android, bridge them to React Native, and optimize performance-critical paths. They understand when native code makes sense and how to structure bridges for maintainability.

Common use cases: biometric authentication, advanced camera controls, custom animations, platform-specific APIs, performance-critical operations, and third-party SDK integrations that don't have React Native wrappers.

Platform API Integration

iOS and Android have different APIs for everything: permissions, file systems, background tasks, push notifications, in-app purchases. Our developers know both platforms' APIs and can implement features that feel native on each platform while sharing business logic.

They understand iOS's Human Interface Guidelines and Android's Material Design, implement platform-specific navigation patterns, handle platform-specific edge cases, and ensure apps feel native, not like web apps wrapped in a container.

App Store Deployment

Getting apps into the App Store and Google Play isn't straightforward. Our developers handle certificates, provisioning profiles, app signing, metadata, screenshots, review guidelines, and staged rollouts. They use Fastlane for automation and can set up CI/CD pipelines that build and submit automatically.

They understand store policies, prepare apps for review, manage versioning, handle rejection scenarios, and ensure compliance with platform requirements. You focus on building features; they handle the deployment complexity.

Mobile Performance Optimization

Mobile apps have constraints web apps don't: limited memory, battery life, network conditions, and device capabilities. Our developers optimize bundle sizes, implement code splitting, use native modules strategically, profile performance regularly, and optimize animations and rendering.

They measure frame rates, memory usage, startup times, and network efficiency. They optimize until apps feel fast and responsive, even on older devices or slow networks. Performance isn't an afterthought—it's built into the development process.

Device Testing & QA

Simulators aren't enough. Our developers test on real iOS and Android devices—various screen sizes, OS versions, and hardware capabilities. They catch platform-specific bugs, performance issues, and device compatibility problems before release.

They use device farms for automated testing, maintain device labs for manual testing, test offline scenarios, handle different network conditions, and ensure apps work across the device ecosystem your users actually have.

Mobile Architecture Patterns

Mobile apps need different architecture than web apps: offline-first patterns, background task handling, state persistence, and efficient data synchronization. Our developers understand mobile-specific patterns and can architect apps that work well in mobile environments.

They implement offline-first architectures, handle background tasks efficiently, manage app state across app lifecycle events, optimize data synchronization, and ensure apps work well even when network connectivity is poor.

React Native Roles We Staff
