React Native: a mobile app without doubling the teams

Building a mobile app quickly raises a costly question: an iOS appand an Android app, meaning two teams, two codebases?React Native offers another path: a single codebase for both platforms.

One codebase, two platforms

React Native lets you write the app once in TypeScript/React and deploy it to iOS and Android. For a team already familiar with the React ecosystem, this means major time savings and consistency — with just one codebase to maintain.

When React Native is the right choice

• A business app, a mobile back-office, a field tool — where the experience doesn’t require extreme native effects.
• A budget and timeline that don’t allow for duplicate native development.
• A need for offline mode, photos, scanning, signatures, geolocation — all of this works very well in React Native.

This is typically what we deploy for business tools that have a field component.

When to prefer native (or a PWA)

For highly demanding applications in terms of graphics (games, 3D animations, precise hardware access), native still has the edge. And for purely consultative use, a PWA (installable web app) may even suffice, without going through app stores.

The right approach: frame the actual use case

Native mobile, React Native, or PWA: the choice is based on actual usage, not trends. We decide this during scoping, for our application development.
