Why have you been shying away from developing a cross-platform app for your business? Are you concerned about the performance of the app? We guess you are.
There had been no dependable tools and frameworks developed for building cross-platform apps that can match the performance of a native app. As a result, startups and enterprises end up paying more for native app development. But this year comes with some amazing surprises for the developer community and business owners (new or established). React Native is here to change the face of hybrid app development. We’d love to talk about it.
So, what is React Native?
A JavaScript framework/ a JavaScript library, React Native helps developers create world-class cross-platform apps that will behave and look like native. And you don’t need to pay extra dollars for that.
You may have heard the positives about PhoneGap (Apache Cordova), Xamarin but they lack the performance factor. This has been taken up by React Native now. Developers see React Native as a ‘code once- deploy everywhere’ solution in the mobile app world, where the entrepreneurs and enterprises need not pay a six-figure cost for getting their mobile app built on iOS and Android.
As the name suggests. React Native is the native version of the popular web library of the same name- React.JS. It renders a user interface that consists of actual native views such that the final user experience is as good and flawless as in a pure native application. Some have named it a new competitor to native development.
Since its inception in 2015, React Native has gained tremendous popularity among mobile app developers and mobile app development companies India. It lets them build a rich mobile UI using declarative components. A react native app uses the fundamental building blocks same as in native iOS and Android apps; they are just put together using React and JavaScript.
Major Benefits of React Native App Development
Simplified Layout: If you ask a native iOS or Android app developer, ‘do they find it complex to develop a native app?’ they’d be hesitant in saying ‘no.’ Yes, it’s a complex process. A smooth user experience is tough to achieve. With the modern React Native development services, you’re exposed to a simplified environment that just needs a grip on JavaScript skills. For this purpose, React Native community of developers executes Flexbox algorithms.
Minimal Recompilation Time: Deployed by Facebook, this JS framework for hybrid app development results in faster deployments. The expert developers team at Facebook has introduced Hot Reloading, which allows instant reloading of the app rather than recompilation. You can retain the current application state and run the new code along with. This is truly magical.
Readily Available Resources: Since it’s all about JavaScript coding and UI design, you hire mobile app developers at ease and affordable pricing. The whole development process is not too complicated and any decent offshore mobile app development company India or abroad can provide you with the finest developers.
Rapid Iterations: Fast debugging also leads to reduced development time and increased productivity with React Native.
Thousands of apps are using React Native now including Skype, Instagram, F8, Airbnb, Tesla, Walmart, Baidu Mobile, Bloomberg and many other reputed brands.
Rendering a Better Developer Experience
Besides rendering a great user experience, React Native is a big savior for all mobile app developers out there. When you compare it with the standard native iOS and Android app development, this uses a lot of JavaScript which is much like a web environment and thus, developers take a lot of advantage of web development. Some of which are ‘to refresh the application to see code changes, ‘intelligent error reporting and standard JavaScript debugging tools,’ ‘cross-platform APIs,’ ‘specify platform-specific versions of each component, which can be later integrated into the rest of your React Native application.’
Get started
So, if you want to save your time and dollars to launch your first app on the app stores, reach out to any of top React Native development companies. We bet you’ll make one of the best mobile app startups in the months to come.
