// Overview

How we use React Native

React Native enables us to build iOS and Android apps from a single TypeScript codebase. With Expo and the new architecture, React Native apps deliver near-native performance with dramatically faster development cycles than separate native codebases.

// Use cases

  • Cross-platform iOS and Android apps
  • Apps sharing logic with Next.js web apps
  • Consumer apps prioritising development speed
  • Internal tools for iOS and Android

// Why it matters

Shared codebase

70–90% of code shared between iOS and Android. TypeScript types and business logic shared with web applications in a monorepo.

Expo ecosystem

Expo provides native modules, OTA updates, and managed build infrastructure — reducing native toolchain complexity significantly.

New Architecture

JSI and Fabric renderer in React Native 0.73+ provide synchronous JS-native communication and concurrent rendering — resolving historic performance concerns.
