Native Android & iOS apps - at much lower time frame
React Native is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces for native mobile apps for Android and iOS in less time. The other alternatives to build native apps are using JAVA (for android) and XCode (for iOS) but it takes several times higher.
When and where to use React Native App
Anyone who would like to build a native Android and iOS mobile app for his business or for any purpose, React Native is a good choice. Here are the situations one can think of developing a React Native mobile app
- A React Native App as an extension of your business- People carry mobile phones for almost 24 hours. So some selective part of the system you can port on the mobile app to keep the interaction for 24/7.
- A React Native App as an extension of your ecommerce website - Just to give your loyal customer to buy your product using the app
- A React Native App for tracking location - You will need it when you will need to track the location like Uber app. Or HR app to track activity of moving employees.
- A React Native App for your warehouse management to be used with mobile computer scanner
- You have an IDEA that you want to convert as a Mobile App (React Native). It is likely to solve some general problem of your target audience.
React Native advantages over it’s peers
The other technologies to write native apps are JAVA (for android) and XCode (for iOS). One can also use the IONIC framework, CORDOVA technologies for building a mobile App. Then why choose React Native?
Here are a few solid reasons why choose React Native
- Using React Native one can build two apps (for both Android and iOS ) using the same codebase. So you will need to manage one project team instead of two.
- Turnaround time for JAVA or Xcode based native apps take months and sometimes years to develop while it is just a few months for react native
- Same React technology for building the web application is used to write React Native code. So maintaining both your web application and mobile application becomes easier and can be done by the same developer.
- React Native uses simple Javascript, CSS & HTML. This is no rocket science. You will easily get future developers to maintain your app. It can be an issue for JAVA/Xcode.
- React Native is builds a native app but IONIC or other CORDOVA based technologies does web based not native.

Steps involved to build a React Native application
If you are a layman in software development, here are the steps to build a React Native application for your company. It still may contain some technical jargon, we will be happy to clarify it if requested ...
- Understand the business requirements (features and its objectives) from you (stakeholders) for your React Native app and convert it to user stories (in the proposed software who will do what, when, where and why). This job is of the Product Owner (it is an Agile Software Development Term) of the product.
- Convert each user story into proposed software components along with software requirements and specifications associated with every component. Components are user Interfaces and code objects, database objects etc. You need a person who can efficiently do it. This job is of a System Analyst cum Designer.
- Create graphical representation of the user interface layouts and screen templates. There are online tools which can be used to mimic the proposed mobile interfaces for your proposed react native app.
- Convert all the functionalities, quality benchmarks, environment setup activities, miscellaneous works into doable tasks in a manner such that every one in the team (including you people) transparently see the progress, spent hours, estimates, issues etc. This is best done by putting all requirements, defects, test cases, general tasks etc on an integrated project management software. The person who manages it is called Scrum Master.
- Convert the proposed components along with requirements into actual software components. Actual codes, files and database tables that can run on a software platform to provide expected results. This is ideally done by Developer (React Native & PHP/Node.js). It's often done by two developers. React Native Developer for creating user interfaces and PHP/Node.js API developer to fetch data from the server.
- Test (and fix) the React Native app / feature formally using a test management tool to verify and validate the functional and nonfunctional TDD points are implemented. It requires further testing whether the idea itself requires changes or not. It may also require testing against load and security. Finally testing and fixing to make sure that everything is usable by the final user. This job is of a Test Analyst, Tester and Product Owner.
- Test the feature / app by the product owner and operation team (customer team). Business facing testing to ensure all the business requirements meet or not. Exploratory testing to see if there are rooms for improvement. Usability testing by the actual system user and make sure they feel comfortable.
- Make it live as per Live process checkpoint. Everyone connected to the development team gets involved in the live process.
