React Native is the most widely deployed cross-platform mobile framework in production. It is also the most frequently implemented badly. The gap between a developer who has completed a React Native course and one who has shipped apps on both stores — and kept them performing — is enormous.

Clutch Rating
A junior React Native developer knows how to set up a project, use useState, and make an API call. A senior one knows why an animation is dropping frames on a mid-range Android device and how to move it off the JS thread with Reanimated 3. They know when to use Expo's managed workflow and when the bare workflow is necessary. They know that navigation performance depends on which library you choose and how you configure it.
They know how to write native modules when a JavaScript bridge is not enough. They know how to get an app through App Store review without a rejection. They know the difference between a bundle size problem and a render performance problem — and how to fix each one. That is the gap between "builds apps" and "builds apps that users keep." Automely places the second kind.
Every React Native engagement is scoped to your specific app — consumer or enterprise, iOS and Android, Expo managed or bare workflow.
React Native apps for iOS and Android from a single TypeScript codebase. React Navigation 6+, TanStack Query, push notifications via FCM and APNs, deep linking, and App Store submission on both platforms.
B2B and internal mobile applications: biometric authentication, offline-first data sync with WatermelonDB or MMKV, barcode and QR scanning, Bluetooth device integration, and custom native modules.
Expo SDK managed workflow with EAS Build for CI/CD, EAS Submit for App Store submission, and OTA updates via Expo Updates. Bare workflow recommended where managed workflow would limit functionality.
Profiling with React DevTools Profiler and Flipper: unnecessary re-renders, moving animations to the native thread with Reanimated 3, Metro tree shaking, lazy-loading heavy screens, and Android frame drop fixes.
Structured migration for apps that have outgrown the managed Expo workflow — ejecting cleanly, configuring native build tooling for iOS (Xcode) and Android (Gradle), integrating native modules.
Ongoing React Native version upgrades, native dependency updates, iOS and Android SDK compatibility maintenance, App Store and Google Play compliance updates, and crash resolution via Sentry or Firebase Crashlytics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
React Native vs Flutter — which is better?
React Native and Flutter both solve the same core problem — building iOS and Android apps from a single codebase without paying for two native development teams. They take different approaches:
| React Native | Flutter | |
|---|---|---|
| Language | JavaScript / TypeScript | Dart |
| Rendering | Maps to native platform UI components | Draws its own UI using Skia / Impeller |
| UI consistency | Slight differences between iOS and Android (native widgets) | Pixel-perfect across platforms (self-drawn) |
| Performance | Excellent for most apps; JS thread can bottleneck heavy animation | Compiled to native ARM — consistently high performance |
| Ecosystem | Massive (leverages npm / JavaScript ecosystem) | Growing but smaller than JavaScript ecosystem |
| Web code sharing | Yes — share logic and some components with React web apps | No direct sharing with web codebases |
| Best for | Teams with existing JavaScript/React skills; apps that share logic with web | New cross-platform projects prioritising performance and UI consistency |
What is React Native?
React Native is an open-source mobile application framework created by Meta (Facebook) that allows developers to build iOS and Android apps using JavaScript and React. Unlike hybrid frameworks (Ionic, Cordova) that run inside a web view, React Native maps JavaScript components to actual native platform UI elements — a React Native View renders as a UIView on iOS and an android.view.View on Android. This gives React Native apps native-level look and feel while sharing a single JavaScript codebase across both platforms. React Native was released publicly in 2015 and is used in production by Meta, Microsoft (Office Mobile), Shopify, Coinbase, and thousands of other companies. The framework is currently maintained by Meta and a large open-source community.
What is the difference between React and React Native?
React (ReactJS) is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces that run in a web browser. It renders to the browser's DOM — HTML elements on a web page. React Native is a framework built on React's component model and JSX syntax that renders to native mobile platform components — not a web browser. The key difference is the output: React produces web pages; React Native produces iOS and Android applications. The two share the same programming model — components, props, state, hooks, context — so a developer who knows React can learn React Native significantly faster than learning a completely different mobile framework. But they are different environments: React Native has no DOM, no CSS (it uses a Flexbox-based StyleSheet API instead), and requires handling mobile-specific concerns like touch gestures, native navigation, push notifications, and platform-specific behaviour that do not exist in browser-based React development.
Ionic vs React Native — which should I choose?
Ionic is a hybrid mobile framework that runs your web application inside a web view on the device — effectively a browser window packaged as a mobile app. React Native renders actual native platform components using a JavaScript bridge (or JSI). The practical difference is performance and native feel: Ionic apps can feel slightly laggy on scrolling and complex interactions because they are running in a web view; React Native apps render native components and generally feel indistinguishable from native apps to users. Ionic has the advantage of full web technology compatibility — if you have an existing web application, Ionic can wrap it for mobile faster and cheaper. React Native is the better choice for any app where the user experience needs to feel fully native or where animations and gestures are a significant part of the interface.
Can a React Native developer work on existing apps?
Yes. Taking over existing React Native codebases is a significant part of what our developers do. Before writing any new code we run a structured audit: React Native version, Expo SDK version if applicable, native dependency health (outdated native libraries are a common source of build failures), test coverage, performance profiling, and an assessment of technical debt that will affect the work. We produce a written report with findings and a prioritised list of issues before starting development work.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission for React Native apps?
Yes, end-to-end. For iOS: Xcode build configuration, provisioning profiles, App Store Connect metadata, App Privacy declarations, age ratings, and responding to App Store review issues. For Android: Gradle build configuration, signing key management, Google Play Console metadata, Data Safety section, and target API level compliance. We also manage the EAS Submit workflow for teams using Expo. For first-time submissions we recommend starting the App Store review process 2–3 weeks before the target launch date, as Apple review times vary and rejections require a full resubmission cycle.
What is Expo and do your React Native developers use it?
Expo is a framework and platform built on top of React Native that simplifies the development, build, and deployment process. Expo's managed workflow provides a library of pre-built native modules (camera, maps, notifications, etc.) so developers can build many apps without writing native Swift or Kotlin code. EAS Build handles compilation of iOS and Android binaries in the cloud; EAS Submit handles App Store submission. Our developers use Expo where it fits the project — specifically for apps whose feature requirements fall within Expo's library coverage. For apps that need custom native modules, hardware integration, or features outside the Expo ecosystem, we use the bare React Native workflow. We recommend the right approach for your specific app — not a blanket preference.
