With this every changing trend and growing market, mobile apps are expected to generate global revenue of approx. $189 Billion by 2020 end.

If you have made your mind to get on these App stores, we will do every bit to get you there, make you successful, and help you in making the right selection. Let’s see the pros and cons of the platforms -
Let’s Compare Two App Development Platforms
Native and React native are the popular platforms. And Native has been here since like forever whereas React native is trending at the moment, right now. Both of them have their own benefits. And it can be daunting to select any one of them unless you have an industry expert who could help you in deciding and give an explanation for that decision.
1) API
If we talk about React Native, one of the key issues that developers are facing nowadays is that it doesn’t support every native API. However, it’s true that only few APIs React Native does not support. And that’s one of the reasons why developers choose Native over React Native.
2) Community
Since 2015 React Native is in the market, which means it’s still in its nascent phase. But the progress and success rate is remarkable. However, it has a smaller developer community as compared to other frameworks. That’s why sometimes it becomes difficult to get out of any trouble if you are not sure that you will find a viable solution from your team members.
3) Third-Party Libraries
There are a lot of third-party libraries for React Native platform, which could be successfully integrated into the app development process. However, they are kind of limited. And if you get everything you are looking from these libraries, it’s going to be amazing. But, in case you don’t get what you are looking for, you will be stuck.
4) Designing Challenges
Being a developer, you must be knowing Android and iPhone, both the platforms. You must also be familiar with the fact that both of them have different look and feel and have a different set of designing guidelines to comply with. Incase of React Native, a single app functions on both the platforms. That’s why this makes designing really a daunting task. Infact, sometimes it kills the charm of the app and sets numerous restrictions as well.
Whereas in case of Native app development, there is a separate development factor for Android and iOS. And this gives creative liberty, ease, and have no restrictions. Infact both the developer and the user have much better app experience with Native as compared to that with React Native.
