We have recently adopted React Native for our client mobile projects. This talk will cover some of the challenges faced and the choices made, from choosing ‘the best’ routing library to deploying and updating their apps.
I also include a comparison of React Native and alternative mobile solutions and the relative merits of each.
3. OUR STORY
GOOD
An existing codebase can be
wrapped in Cordova and exported.
Can build a responsive desktop
app and get a mobile app for free.
There are a number of Cordova
plugins to take advantage of native
features.
BAD
Performance intensive applications
may be noticeably slower.
Past a certain point, you will spend a
lot of time trying to emulate native
animations and experience.
The feel is more of a web app, less
smooth animations and transitions.
