Capabilities

Key features I use

  • New Architecture (JSI/Fabric) eliminates the bridge — native performance for UI interactions
  • Expo managed workflow for rapid development and OTA updates via EAS Update
  • React Navigation v7 with native stack for gesture-driven navigation
  • Reanimated 3 for 60fps gesture and animation without bridge overhead
  • Expo Notifications for unified APNs and FCM push handling

Decision guide

When to choose React Native

  • Your engineering team knows React and JavaScript — React Native leverages existing skills
  • You need OTA updates to fix bugs without App Store review cycles
  • Your app integrates heavily with web content or WebView-heavy flows
  • You need to share business logic (API clients, state management) between web and mobile

Honest trade-offs

Limitations to know

  • Complex native UI components still require bridging — heavy camera, AR, or video processing should be native
  • JavaScript thread can become a bottleneck for animation-heavy screens without explicit Reanimated usage
  • The ecosystem has more churn than Flutter — library compatibility with new React Native versions is a recurring maintenance task

FAQ

Common questions

Expo or bare React Native?+

Expo managed workflow unless you have a specific native module that Expo doesn't support. Expo's build infrastructure, OTA updates, and managed native modules save weeks of DevOps work.
