“Which framework will give me the best result in my mobile app development?”

“Which is the most suitable platform for mobile app development?”

“Which is better, Single platform or Cross-platform?”

These are some of the most frequently asked questions by our clients in terms of mobile app development services. Clients nowadays are aware and have a vague idea about the latest technology and innovation in mobile app development technology. Generally, our advice to them about mobile app development is always to go for a platform that is more suitable to their organization. However, looking at the current trend in hybrid mobile app development, we suggest them to go with it, as the ongoing demand of react native has left it behind. And the way it is going and increasing more seems like that react native will be going to become the future of mobile app development services in coming years. For most of the apps, which are entirely built on react native, there are some restrictions while using it.

Impact of React Native

Facebook is one of the biggest examples of facing a lot of issues for redesigning their apps and everything all. This problem was faced by many users and rolling out new features. Facebook needed something which is more robust and faster which can handle lot of traffic as well as designed really quickly.The brilliant team at Facebook started working on a JavaScript library, which came to be called as react. The best part is reacting employs a faster virtual DOM, therefore, you can use react with PHP, MySQL, MongoDB or any other database system of your choice. The UI is rendered by using the actual native view, so the final user experience is not as bad as other solutions which simplify render a web component inside a WebView. Over the past few years, it has been found that these initial principles have made building some features harder.

Benefits of React Native

There are numerous benefits of using react native and the reasons why developers have to work with this framework. Below are given some of the vital reasons which will give you a snippy acumen why react is most superior to develop native mobile apps as:

• Cross-platform Compatability

As mentioned earlier, React native was originally introduced on the iOS support but because of its amazing capabilities and features, Facebook decided to develop its support for Android applications also. Therefore, now the developers can build this framework on iOS and Android app simultaneously through one codebase.

• Performance

React native uses 60 frames per second and thus offers the native look and feel to apps. It enables the developers to update apps faster with the help of over the air updates. Once the update is completed, then you can easily publish the feature. There is no requirement to update the react native mobile app with the app store manually.

• Third party component

Of course, it is quite possible to use third party components, but the selection is not comparable with the number of community-generated libraries which we can find for iOS and Android. A big issue with these components is also the fact that the compatibility and the support are not guaranteed with the future of react native framework release.

• Native SDKs update

When the iOS and Android SDKs are updated, then it takes some time for recent native for integrating these newly introduced APIs into their core library. The react native team is pretty fast for updating in order to allow developers to use new APIs, but the priority is given by the amount of request which every API gets.

Conclusion

React Native is highly increasing and becoming popular as the go-to the framework to develop the world-class mobile applications. Therefore, learning about this amazing technology is all that you need to build powerful cross platform mobile apps. Hence, the popularity of React Native similar to JavaScript frameworks is blurring the lines between web and mobile app developers.
