This article covers your search for a React Native App Developer in Bangalore
Most businesses decide to build a Website to increase their Online presence. But did you know that today, In total, the number of people that own a smartphone is 7.26 Billion, making up 91.08% of the world’s population. Hence it is important if you are a business or a startup looking to build a strong online presence to decide if you want to focus on Mobile Apps or a standard Website.
There are many things like SEO, Design etc. that goes into a Website. However, it’s a whole new ball game when it comes to Mobile Apps.
Did you know that there are 3.48 million apps currently in the Google Play Store?
After deciding to build a Mobile App, the next obvious question is – what tech stack to choose? Here comes the dilemma.
Android Apps can only be built by Java/Kotlin developers.
iOS Apps can only be built by Objective C/Swift developers.
What must a startup/business wanting to target both markets do?
One solution is to Hire both types of developers.
Then comes the stone which can hit 2 birds in 1 shot. React Native.
What is React Native? Why React Native?
It will be obvious in a while to you.
React Native is a framework developed by Facebook which can develop both iOS and Android Apps. It hits 2 birds in 1 stone. The core language used in React Native is JavaScript! Yes, JavaScript. In the world of tech, if you want a solution badly, you can find it. This is one such success story.
Back in the days, people could only develop Mobile Apps in Android or iOS not both.
However, due to Facebook, we now have React Native, using JavaScript to Code, a codebase which is compatible with both Android and iOS. What’s more is, React Native can also support Web but that’s a story for another day.
Single Codebase for both Android and iOS makes it easy to just write code once and forget about it. Without having to worry about features not supported by one platform or the other.
There is one more advantage for using React Native. If you are a Web Developer who knows React, it will be very easy to build React Native apps. Why is this? React Native as the name suggests combines the features and advantages of React as well as Native app development and gives you the best of both worlds. That is why it’s called React Native – React for React, Native for mobile Native apps.
Advantages of React Native
Single Language
React native is written in JavaScript but rendered with native code
React primitives render to native platform UI, meaning your app uses the same native platform APIs other apps do.
Many platforms, one React. Create platform-specific versions of components so a single codebase can share code across platforms. With React Native, one team can maintain two platforms and share a common technology—React.
Native Development
React Native lets you create truly native apps and doesn’t compromise your users’ experiences. It provides a core set of platform agnostic native components like View, Text, and Image that map directly to the platform’s native UI building blocks.
Cross Platform support
React components wrap existing native code and interact with native APIs via React’s declarative UI paradigm and JavaScript. This enables native app development for whole new teams of developers, and can let existing native teams work much faster.
Fast Refresh
One of the best advantages is you can see your changes as soon as you save the code. With the power of JavaScript, React Native lets you iterate at lightning speed. No more waiting for native builds to finish. Save, see, repeat
In 2018, React Native had the 2nd highest number of contributors for any repository in GitHub. Today, React Native is supported by contributions from individuals and companies around the world including Callstack, Expo, Infinite Red, Microsoft and Software Mansion.

What are Downsides of React Native?
Though it might look all shiny. There are some drawbacks with React Native.
One biggest drawback is that it’s new. It was released in 2015. This means it is behind in terms of the functionalities and the possibilities when compared to Native or Pure iOS/Android apps. However, if you think deeply, this will never be a disadvantage. Why so? When did the first iPhone launch? Compare that to React Native. As with all technologies, it is useless to reinvent the wheel. But is React Native reinventing the wheel or making it smooth?
Or is it adding a patch to a punctured wheel? That is yet to be seen as development is still active in 2022.

So you are a business/startup looking to outsource its App Development and you have made your mind to choose React Native. Now you have to make a decision to select a company to outsource it to. Why should you choose us?
Let me tell you a story. Back in 2020, when I was working at HackerEarth, we had a client who wanted to assess React Native. Me being the guy who took care of all tech stacks in my team wanted to badly close the deal. Hence we agreed to do a campaign. Till then I had seen and heard a lot about React Native. However I had no working experience. I thought it would be easy to learn it. Let me tell you, it was a nightmare for me to learn React Native. I had set up my environment and every program I tried to run either crashed or wasn’t running. Then came the day of delivery, we had not completed it before time. The client had to walk me through a call on how to run it properly. This was a huge blunder on my part when I was there.
Fast forward, we used to remember this incident and laugh. One lesson I learnt was to never take a tech stack lightly. It can amaze you with its steep learning curve and small details.
Fast forward to today, and I had launched my own App Development company and catering clients. But the more I think about it, React Native is the best choice for any mobile app.
Recently we built a React Native app in 2 weeks for a client who wanted an MVP or prototype for an Agritech startup. If you had told me then what I know or do now, I wouldn’t have believed you.
