You can use React Native to create native mobile apps for iOS and Android using JavaScript and React. Instead of writing separate codebases in Swift and Kotlin, you write your user interface once using declarative React components. These components render directly to true native system controls, keeping performance and appearance authentic to each operating system. You can tap into native device APIs, integrate with existing native projects, or use frameworks like Expo for file-based routing, instant testing, and access to dozens of ready-made device modules.
