How to convert your Native Android & iOS app to React Native?

React Native, an open-source platform built and maintained by Facebook, has started getting traction since its release in February 2015. Today, React Native developers use this platform for developing cross-platform apps by writing native code in Java or Objective-C. Higher scalability and less complexity of this framework attract many developers to building React Native apps. What’s more, a thriving React Native community keeps on improving this platform.

Let’s give the topic a little twist. How about adding native app development in our discussion? Though React Native has gained a lot of popularity worldwide, many mobile app development companies still consider that native apps can be the right way to start. Considering both these aspects, employers can opt for either native or cross-platform apps by following a systematic approach for mobile application development. Here are the steps they can follow-

Define business goals and target audience
Make a list of necessary features and functionality
Do extensive research on market trends and your competitors’ apps
Create use cases and wireframes Select an app development path

Building a customized mobile app needs a lot of money, effort, and time. But then, a feature-rich, customized mobile app can help your business in many ways while giving a high ROI over the period. You can increase revenue by improving sales and engagement. A tailored app enables you to connect with your customers on a 24/7 basis and you can reach a huge audience with ease. Also, an app can increase brand awareness significantly.

Now, another question arises- can we convert an existing Android or iOS app into a cross-platform app? Well, a reliable cross-platform app development company that also offers Android app development and iOS app development can do so. Let’s understand it by taking an example of converting a native app into a React Native app.
