Over the past decade, mobile apps have become an integral part of our daily lives. Technological
advancements related to smartphone development have led to a surge in the number of available apps for
mobile use. Nowadays, there's an app for everything, and if there isn't, someone out there is working on
planning one now.
If time to launch is a pressing issue for you and you only want to deal with one code base, reduce your
development time and reduce your product budget to launch faster on both platforms, then cross-platform
frameworks like React Native, Flutter, NativeScript, or Xamarin can be considered.
Smaller dev teams, smaller budgets
React Native app development requires a unique team of JavaScript developers who can write a single
code that will be deployed for both platforms, thus leading to faster overall development times.
Developing a single code base for both platforms can prove more cost-effective for front-end
development compared to native app development.
Shortened app development time
One of the biggest selling points of cross-platform frameworks such as React Native is the shorter
development time. React Native developers have access to various ready-to-apply components to
accelerate the app development process, compared to building two native apps, one on iOS and another
one on Android.
Hot reloading
React Native developers use a Virtual DOM, which allows a mobile app to keep running while changes
and UI tweaks are being implemented. This saves clients a lot of time and keeps the mobile app
running while changes are made.
A smoother development process
The React Native framework employs declarative programming, which eliminates the need for creating
action sequences in mobile applications. This makes it much easier to detect bugs along the user
path, especially if you use a state management system like Redux.
