React Native app development for iOS and Android
React Native lets one team build an iPhone and Android app with JavaScript or TypeScript, using real native components. Our React Native app development team is a strong fit if you already use React on the web or want to share logic between your app and website.
At a glance
- One TypeScript codebase for iOS and Android
- Native components and smooth performance
- Expo for quicker builds and updates
- Shares skills and logic with React websites
What is React Native app development?
React Native app development is building mobile apps with React Native, an open-source framework created by Meta. Developers write the app in JavaScript or TypeScript using React, and it renders real native components on both iOS and Android.

Compare
React Native vs native development
React Native covers most business apps. Native still wins for some.
| Compare | React Native | Native (Swift and Kotlin) |
|---|---|---|
| Codebases | One shared codebase | Two separate apps |
| Language | JavaScript or TypeScript | Swift and Kotlin |
| Updates | Small fixes can ship over the air | Every change goes through store review |
| Best for | Business, content and commerce apps | Graphics-heavy or hardware-heavy apps |
