React Native – The Future of Mobile App Development

There have been a massive growth and demand in the Mobile App Development Industry for last decade.

According to statistics, by the year 2020, mobile apps are predicted to generate $188.9 billion in global revenue via app stores and in-app advertising.

Companies are dealing with new incomprehension to boost the mobile app presence whether to create an app which gives better user experience or apps which are fast and cross-compatible? But most of the time, industry experts recommend React Native(RN).

What React Native is?

It is a framework that utilizes JavaScript to build a hierarchy of the UI (User interface) components to build mobile applications. It has a collection of features for both Android and iOS platforms, it gives the application a native look and feel.

RN has gained immense recognition, community support, and market share with the few years since its prelude. The Github repository statistics reveal that 1002 contributors have committed 7,971 times in 45 branches with 124 releases. In addition, it is also the 14th most starred repository on Github.

5 Reasons: Why React Native is the Future of Mobile App Development

There are many reasons why RN is being identified as the future of mobile app development and there are as follow:

1. a) Cross-Platform Compatibility

React Native was originally introduced for iOS but due to its unique capabilities and features, Facebook decided to develop its support for Android as well. Majority of RN are cross-compatible therefore developers now can build an application through React native, simultaneously using a single code base. Thus, the development cost for separate development for Android and iOS is

b) Performance

The great part about RN is that it uses 60 frames per sound thereby offers the native feel and look to apps. With the support of over the air updates, React Native allows developers to update apps faster and allow them to publish the features just after completing them update and then there is no requirement to update the app manually from the store.

c) Instant Live Updates

Another dominant advantage of using RN is that it allows developers to do Live Updates without moving through an app store. With the ample usage of JavaScript, developers can push an update to the user’s phone without going through the app store update cycle.

You can use Microsoft live update service CodePushSDK to push notification to your apps by integrating with React Native App.

d) Native Functionality

Mobile apps are developed using RN function as well as a Native app, thus the name React Native. When it comes to usability, scroll stimulation, and animations, it plays a crucial role in the popularity of the apps.

RN has the potency to run most complex apps smoothly along with JavaScript. Thus building apps with RN are the right solution that developing robust apps.

e) Superior Development Environment

While developing React Native, the developers will experience the great development environment. RN allows the modification and implementation to take place while operating the app in the background. Hot reloading refreshes the UI whenever any changes are made to the file. Removing humdrum re-build and keeping developers away from reiteration work creates a delightful environment.

Summing up

There is no doubt that RN makes developing mobile app a cinch and the developed apps are also of high-quality and other than that React Native provides easy access to libraries and plugins which allow developers to accelerate the app development phase.
