React Native for Real Apps
React Native brings React skills to mobile, rendering real native components on iOS and Android. We use it to move quickly without giving up a native feel.
Overview
React Native
React Native lets teams build iOS and Android apps with React, JavaScript and TypeScript, while rendering genuine native views. Its newer architecture reduces the old bridge overhead, and a large ecosystem of libraries covers navigation, animation, storage and device access. Teams that already work in React can reuse patterns and, in some cases, business logic.
We build with TypeScript, structure code by feature, and choose between Expo and a bare workflow based on your native requirements. We write native modules in Swift and Kotlin when a library does not exist, manage over-the-air updates carefully within store rules, and test on devices. We also flag when an app is better off fully native.
Context
Why teams choose it
- 01
Reuse web team skills
Developers who know React and TypeScript can become productive on mobile without learning two new native stacks.
- 02
Truly native components
Screens use platform UI elements, so scrolling, inputs and accessibility behave as users expect.
- 03
Shared logic across platforms
A single codebase covers iOS and Android, and shared packages can serve a React web app as well.
- 04
Large ecosystem
Mature libraries and an active community cover most common needs, shortening development time.
Capabilities
What we build with it
- 01
TypeScript mobile apps
Typed, modular React Native apps with clean navigation, state management and API layers.
- 02
Expo and bare workflows
We pick the right setup, including Expo for speed or custom native projects for deeper control.
- 03
Native modules
Swift and Kotlin modules for hardware, SDKs and features without a maintained library.
- 04
Performance tuning
Profiling lists, animations and startup, with Hermes and the new architecture where suitable.
- 05
Authentication and data
Secure token storage, push notifications, offline caching and sync with your backend.
- 06
Release automation
CI builds, code signing, staged releases and carefully scoped over-the-air updates.
Typical projects
- Mobile companion to an existing React web app
- E-commerce and booking apps
- Social and community apps
- Marketplace apps for two platforms
- Internal business apps for field teams

Approach
How we work with it
- 1
Assess
We review your goals and any existing code to decide where this technology fits best.
- 2
Architect
We plan structure, integrations, data flow and hosting before writing production code.
- 3
Build
Features ship in small, reviewed increments with automated checks along the way.
- 4
Release & maintain
We deploy, monitor and keep dependencies and versions up to date.
FAQs
Common questions
Have a question that is not covered here? Get in touch.
Is React Native really native?
It renders actual native UI components rather than a web view, and you can add native code when needed. Your app logic runs in a JavaScript engine, so heavy computation sometimes belongs in native modules.
Should we use Expo?
Expo is a good default for many apps and speeds up builds and updates. If you need custom native code, Expo's tooling can usually still be used, and we assess this during planning.
Can we share code with our React website?
Business logic, types and API clients can be shared. The UI layers differ, so expect to share logic more than screens.
Are over-the-air updates allowed?
Updates to JavaScript and assets are possible, but app store policies restrict changing an app's core purpose this way. We use them for fixes and minor improvements and ship binaries for larger changes.
