React Native

React Native is Meta's open-source framework for building native mobile applications using React and JavaScript, powering apps used by billions of people.

Key Features

• Native Components: Render actual native UI, not web views
• Hot Reloading: See changes instantly during development
• Large Ecosystem: Thousands of community packages
• Platform APIs: Access device features through native modules
• Code Sharing: Share logic between iOS, Android, and web

Core Capabilities

React Native's native bridge means your app renders real native components—UIKit on iOS, Android Views on Android—resulting in performance and feel indistinguishable from fully native apps. The New Architecture (Fabric and TurboModules) brings even better performance and native interop.

For vibe coders with React experience, React Native leverages your existing skills for mobile development. It powers Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, and thousands of other production apps.
