React Native Development Services - why choose react native

Do you want to build your mobile application fast without having to sacrifice on the quality? If so, look no further than React Native—a technology we specialize in that is both cross-platform and native.

Platforms like Android and iOS are different in a number of aspects. However, the majority of the code used by mobile apps written in either of them can be easily shared between the two with fully native results.

Another significant factor you should consider is the popularity of cross-platform, native mobile development. Facebook, Shopify, Microsoft, Bloomberg, Wix—all these companies use React Native for their mobile apps.

We specialize
in React Native

and fully native development

Our mobile development experience goes back to 2014, when we were developing native mobile apps in Objective-C and Java. As we continued to provide a wide array of mobile app development services to multiple companies from various industries, we gradually grew our skills in React Native and switched to cross-platform mobile development.

Over the years, we’ve iterated, optimized, and improved our mobile app development process. The mobile tech stack we use matures and evolves regularly, which is the very reason we were able to move away from our initial native-only approach.

Our continuous improvement has resulted in us developing mobile apps primarily in React Native these days. We also create custom native modules in Java or Swift whenever necessary to provide the highest code quality and user experience, as well as a complete set of features to our clients at competitive prices.

React Native app development

icon-cross-platform

Share as much implementation as possible between Android and iOS to optimize your React Native app development—you’ll still end up with native applications.

Because you’re sharing the majority of your codebase between the two platforms, React Native will give you all the benefits of native development: a rich variety of features, excellent user experience, and best-in-class feel of the app. Plus, you will speed up your development, shorten the delivery time, and lower your development and maintenance costs.

Custom native module
development

icon-native-app

Since React Native runs in a native context, it can be enhanced with native code—either open-source or custom modules—to provide functionalities like Bluetooth communication, background geolocation, or biometrics.

We’ll look at your particular business requirements and recommend the parts of your app that should be fully native and built as custom native modules, as well as the parts you should rather develop the cross-platform way—all to give you the most attractive price-to-quality ratio.

icon-user-research

Automated end-to-end testing

When you develop software, creating and documenting your test cases is crucial. That being said, executing the test suites systematically is of even greater importance.

End-to-end testing means automating how the user interacts with the UI by playing various test scenarios faster and cheaper than by performing manual execution with the help of human testers. We delegate this process to machines so that we can execute test suites much more frequently leads us to detecting issues quicker and ensuring the quality of your end product is overall higher.

icon-process-automation

Process automation

Automate repeatable processes like app building and deployment to Google Play or the AppStore and save both time and money.

Automating processes is generally one of the best ways to gain an edge in any field. Many software development-related activities, like testing or deployment, can and should be automated. By doing so, you eliminate simple errors that sometimes happen when you deal with repetitive tasks and can cost you dearly down the line.

We can create your dream product—from start to finish

Our battle-tested experts are ready to take the challenge head-on. We have all the competencies in-house, so you don’t need to look for any additional vendors.

Which React Native technologies

do we have the most experience in?
  • icon-type-script TypeScript
  • icon_graphql GraphQL
  • icon-firebase Firebase
  • icon_jest Jest
  • icon-detox Detox

Simply put, TypeScript is JavaScript that scales. We use TS for all our mobile projects to make up for the common problems of plain JS: scalability issues, weak readability, low maintainability, and lack of static typing. Additionally, we can gradually rewrite your codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript.

Because TypeScript provides better auto-completion, we’re able to write code in it much faster, avoiding typos and various errors before we even run the code. Debugging is also made easier in TS, which is a big reason why its popularity continues to grow.

GraphQL is a query language for your API. It provides a complete and understandable description of the data in the API, gives you the ability to ask exactly for what you need and nothing more, makes it easier to grow APIs over time, and enables powerful development tools.

GraphQL queries always return predictable results. Because apps built with GraphQL control the data they receive—not the server—they are fast and stable. Since you can get many resources in a single request, these apps maintain their speed even on slow mobile network connections.

As part of the Google Cloud Platform, Firebase specifically targets mobile applications. The industry standard for push notifications through a service called Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), it can also be used with Crashlytics for stability reporting and Google Analytics for easy integration.

Additionally, we highly recommend picking Firebase as your serverless backend with its Firestore and Cloud Functions, seeing as we have valuable experience developing several projects using this technology.

Jest is a JavaScript testing framework that focuses on simplicity. It works in various technology stacks, not just those based on React.

Jest can reliably run parallel tests and generate code coverage reports when needed. It offers a highly useful mocking functionality necessary to perform unit tests. The framework is designed to ensure correctness of any JavaScript codebase.

Detox is an end-to-end, gray-box testing framework specifically designed for React Native. Because the core React Native development team uses it, by now it’s become the industry standard.

The framework allows for automating user interaction, defining test cases and expected actions, or even recording videos or taking screenshots of the app. By automating end-to-end testing in the app, you save a lot of money and time you’d otherwise waste on repetitive tasks such as regression testing. Plus, it dramatically improves the quality of your end product.

Why work
with STX Next?

We know that each React Native app is as unique as the business it’s designed to serve.

Over the years, clients have come to us looking for support at very different stages of development. We were never caught off guard or let them down.

Here’s what you can expect from us if you find yourself in any of the following situations:

Why work with STX Next? - React Native
1

What if I need to save my budget and cut development costs?

You can scale the team down or move development entirely back in-house at any time. We’re ready to support your React Native project however you see fit.

2

What if I want to keep some of the work in-house?

Smart move. By all means, keep your existing team if it works for you. Your external team will simply complement what you’re already doing while bringing in a fresh perspective and greater scalability.

3

I want to build a mobile app, but I can’t decide if I want to choose React Native or go fully native. What can you recommend?

Whenever we start working on a new mobile app, we first ask ourselves what tech stack will be the best fit to develop all the required features and provide the best quality at the most competitive price and timeframe.

With React Native, it’s important to keep in mind that it works within a native context. That's why React Native will always give you some native code. The only question is: how native will it be?

To determine that, we’ll first decide which particular features of your mobile app can be done using React Native with open-source modules, and which should be fully native and developed from scratch.

We’re fully prepared to help you with development in both approaches. Based on our experience delivering over a dozen React Native projects, we’ll advise you individually which approach is optimal in your specific situation.

4

I’ve already started developing my React Native app, but I’m not too happy with it. Can you take over the project?

Yes, of course. We can support you at any stage of development, even when we’re not building your product from scratch.

In such cases, we usually start with an audit to identify both the positive and negative aspects of your current codebase.

We’ll also root out any potential security, UX, or code quality issues and present you with a specific plan on how to fix them.

React Native FAQ

React Native FAQ

React Native FAQ

What is React Native?

React Native is a development framework that allows development teams to create, among others, native iOS/Android mobile apps using React—a best-in-class JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

From the end user’s perspective, the app is rendered with fully native components that offer the best user experience and performance.

From the development perspective, React Native allows you to easily combine JavaScript code with fully native code in Java/Kotlin for Android and Objective-C/Swift for iOS to increase team velocity. It even allows codebase sharing with web apps.

React Native also supports Universal Windows Platform (UWP), macOS, and web environment, making it one of most portable technologies that still honors platform differences and makes the experience of the app unique.

How does React Native work?

Just like React Virtual DOM, React Native creates an internal representation of the rendered UI. This tree-shaped structure helps calculate differences between each layout change, optimizing the rendering process.

Developers use React’s declarative API in their JavaScript source code, which is later translated to fully native components for all platforms, like iOS and Android. This means that a React Native developer doesn’t need to know the exact type of components the JavaScript code is being translated into.

Working on such a high level of abstraction can lead to increased productivity and unified development for all platforms due to shared codebase, which is also incredibly beneficial when it comes to maintenance costs.

What are some examples of popular mobile apps built with React Native?

React Native isn’t only popular within the startup environment. Big (really big!) players also use and actively support it. Some of the apps and companies that utilize React Native are: Facebook, Shopify, Instagram, Skype, Pinterest, Uber Eats, Discord, and Salesforce.

How does React Native compare to fully native mobile app development?

React Native always operates in a native context; it’s not a web browser environment. Thanks to that, it’s easy to combine it with fully native code based on your needs.

Nothing prevents you from having just some part of your app’s UI written in React Native—which translates to fully native components in the end—and keeping the rest of the app fully native. We can write almost 100% of your codebase in JavaScript, if your app doesn’t require many native features.

You can also use all native APIs your operating system exposes, including Bluetooth connectivity, background geolocation, or biometrics, like in any other native app. However, keep in mind that React Native is not suited for game development.

How does React Native compare to hybrid and mobile web app development?

Although both React Native and hybrid mobile development frameworks like Ionic use similar technologies, the end product can be very different.

You’d be wise to keep in mind that apps developed with React Native are fully native mobile apps, just like their Swift or Java counterparts. It’s not an app wrapped in a web view.

Because of that, the end user will easily distinguish between those two types of apps just by interacting with them. A hybrid app won’t be as intuitive, it’ll be less responsive, and have limited access to the phone’s features.

You can achieve the best user experience only by using native mobile apps. React Native apps belong to that category.

How does React Native compare to Flutter?

Both React Native and Flutter are cross-platform technologies that give you native results, but their approach is different.

React Native uses platform-native components—the same ones used in fully native development—while Flutter has its own rendering mechanism, which can imitate platform-specific components.

React Native respects platform differences, while Flutter tries to unify them and handles rendering on its own. Flutter also uses the Dart language, which is less popular than JavaScript/TypeScript used by React Native.

This may be a game-changer when deciding which technology to choose for someone who has worked with React in JavaScript.

What are the benefits of using React Native?

React Native offers many useful tweaks to the mobile development workflow, including hot reload, which allows developers to make changes to the app’s source code without having to recompile it.

React Native is blazingly fast and significantly speeds up the software development process. Additionally, apps written using React Native share the codebase for Android and iOS, making them much easier to develop and maintain.

Can the user distinguish if the app is developed with React Native?

React Native behaves exactly the same as any other fully native app. The user won’t be able to tell judging only by the user experience that your app was created with React Native instead of plain Java or Swift. It is, however, a much different—and better—experience compared to apps based on HTML in a web browser.
