2. React Native

  • What it is: React Native is a popular framework that allows you to write mobile apps using JavaScript and React, but it compiles down to native code.

  • How to do it:

    • Develop your app using React Native to build native iOS and Android apps.

    • It uses JavaScript for the logic and React components, while the rendering is handled by native views.

  • Pros:

    • It allows for a native experience while writing code in JavaScript.

    • React Native apps are faster than traditional WebView apps.

    • There’s a large community and a lot of resources for building apps.

  • Cons:

    • Requires knowledge of native development for debugging and optimization.

    • Some native modules might require you to use Swift or Objective-C for specific functionality.
