React Native Development built on React Native, chosen where it genuinely fits, and swapped where it does not.

Why React Native for this
Where it strains is heavy native work, custom camera pipelines, background processing, complex hardware. We say so up front rather than discovering it in month three.
React Native is strongest at shared code with your web application and one team for both platforms. For react native development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: heavy native functionality still needs platform-specific work. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The honest assessment

We are not a reseller for React Native and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- TypeScript codebase shared with your web application where sensible
- Expo or bare workflow chosen on your actual native requirements
- Over-the-air updates for fixes that do not need a store review
- Native modules where platform capability requires them
- Both store submissions and release management
- Shared design system across web and mobile
Questions
Can we share code with our website?
Business logic, types, validation and API clients, yes, commonly a substantial share. UI components generally do not transfer directly, and pretending otherwise leads to compromises on both platforms.
Expo or bare?
Expo unless you need native modules it does not support. The managed workflow removes a lot of build and release pain, and the escape hatch exists if you need it later.
Is performance good enough?
For the overwhelming majority of business apps, yes. Graphics-intensive or heavily animated interfaces are where native or Flutter pull ahead.
Alternatives for react native development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
