React native App Development Services from Agicent

We used to use various flavors of Javascript long before react native came into being and once it came, we went all big on it. There were times when React-native and other cross platform technologies (like Flutter, Ionic, QT) were only good for creating App MVPs and had a lot of issues such as integration with third party libraries, with Device’s own hardware capabilities and so on. But today as of mid-2022 we can safely say that React Native can help building as good or superior apps as a native tech would do and that do with single coding effort. Its like Java of old days, “Write once, run anywhere”.

Theoretically, an App that you can make in React-native can be created in Flutter or ionic or in native technologies too. However, if we have to rate the cross-platform technologies, react native rules the roost hands down because of its larger community support, flexible frameworks, and capability to generate the native code over other platforms.

Agicent went above and beyond to convert our idea of making easy learning app for autistic children into a reality. They picked the project from design stage back in 2014 and since then we made interactive lessons, children games, user data capturing and progress showing for Parents and much more. We are looking to work with them for next long years too and highly recommend them to anyone.

BEST Practices followed by Agicent React Native App Development Company

Preparation, Architecture, Tech Stack identification

First and foremost, we critically analyze if the App project is a good candidate for cross platform or react native development or not. In some pretty niche Apps, native can still be a technology of choice so ruling out this possibility is most important first step. Once it is identified that react native is the tech of choice, we then figure out the backend stack (like node.js or graphql, or traditional LAMP stack), or web front-end third-party libraries, like vue.js, typescript, redux etc. If it’s a regular kind of app that we do time and again (like a dating app or ecommerce app, or healthcare app) then we decide on tech stack in few hours only; if it is a niche one- of-a-kind project (like an AI based app suggesting you medicine dosage or an App that heavily uses some third- party APIs for its core function – like creating digital avatars or facilitates Holoportation) then we take more than few hours to check on libraries, their scalability with react native and then decide.

Create and Follow Documentation, Make Project Wiki

Description of the desired project outcome will help you to keep on track the work. Documentation of the code will be an incredible source to know about HOW and most importantly WHY things had been done in a particular way. Business logic, especially in bigger projects, is sometimes hard to comprehend for a newly introduced React Native Developer and an easily available documentation is the best solution to preempt such situation. In fact, creating a project wiki is your best bet that will help any future developers to comprehend and understand and work on the project most efficiently. Successful projects need proper controlling over development and testing, which is easy with documentation.

less code

Consider creating PoC for projects that heavily depend upon third party technologies

As the title suggests, if the project is not so regular type and is heavily dependent upon third party libraries or technologies (like an AI library, or a hardware API) and when we’ve not used that critical tech before, we insist on creating a proof of concept (PoC) first just to demonstrate the feasibility of the core functionality. Most of the times we do it for free (if PoC takes less than 40 hours) or charge very humbly in case it is a big PoC. We recently created a PoC of a crypto marketplace App which shows market data crunching data from various third-party APIs and it was done perfectly well and now the full project is on.

Consider the importance of Platform specific design & Layout

Since you’re dealing with a cross platform technology, it is important to make sure that design and layout renders perfectly right on all sizes of iOS and Android devices. Taking care of this from the day 1 will save a lot of time later on.

Performance optimization, Build optimization

Native applications are top performers because they use stock APIs, patters, and enjoy best support from the OEM’s OS and hardware and you achieve great performance by the virtue of the platform. However, in case of creating a react native app, which is cross platform by the way you have to use a variety of testing tools (like Appium, jest, detox etc), be more meticulous for performance parameters, and optimize your code for best performance across different devices. It can be a time-consuming exercise at times, but totally worth it and warranted.

For react native app development, you have to take care of multi-threading, third party library integration in optimized way, image compression, APK or iPA file size optimization and lot more what you don’t really do when doing native app development.

Prioritize App’s Security as well as of its backend

The app shouldn't serve as a gateway to scammers who want to steal the data or take control over the user's phone. Security issues are crucial if app involves online payments or needs to store and use personal information.

The major security issue is that mobile apps have access to data stored on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets). Here is our dedicated old (but Gold) blog post on Mobile App Security Best Practices - https://www.agicent.com/blog/mobile-app-security-best-practices/.

Common mistakes during React Native App Development – we’ve to Avoid these!

Following are some of the common mistakes being done while doing React Native App development that are better to be considered before starting the project.

  • Overestimating the leverage which react native provides. React native surely provides you the option to have a single code base for the front end, however it is important to know that the backend and integrations do take their own sweet time whether you use react native or pure native technologies. So, using react native can save maximum 30-40 % of your App development time Vs using pure native.
  • Ignoring creating an MVP or Proof of Concept (PoC). For the projects or technologies that we’ve (or someone else has) already worked upon it is fine to directly jump on creating the app; however, in case you want us to create an altogether new feature or technology that has never been done before then it is advisable to create an MVP or a proof of concept before creating the whole project. A PoC makes sure of the feasibility, and allows us to foresee possible future challenges or opportunities while scaling up.
  • Using big tools even when they are not needed. React native developers may tend to use big tools like Redux even in the simple of the Apps where they can use more harm than benefit. Since it’s a cross platform tech and big community works on it all the time, a lot of tools and frameworks keep coming to help in react native development but not all tools and frameworks are meant for all the apps. So using a framework or tool should be done thoughtfully and with an objective of making the project lesser complex and not otherwise.
  • Avoiding Testing on real iOS and Android Devices using separate builds. Again, since it’s a cross platform technology a developer can theoretically believe that if it runs fine on iOS then it will run on Android too and vice versa and may not give time to test the react native App on a real iOS or Android Device. This overlooking should be avoided, and the App should be continuously tested on real iOS and Android devices to note down discrepancies and keep fixing those.
  • Neglecting image and resource optimization. Most of the time, React Native developers don't place a high value on images and resource optimization, which has an impact on app performance. Image optimization also helps to React Native developers reduces the size of their application and make it more lightweight.

  • Randomly choosing the UI Libraries. There are plenty of UI libraries (free or paid) available in the market for react native app developers. However, not many are good and not all will be good for all kind of projects. Libraries like React native Paper, Material kit, React-native Elements, UI Kitten, Nativebase are the most famous ones on Github and one can choose between those instead of just trying any library.
  • Device Specific Design, navigation and approach. If it is an altogether new app then react native developers should take the approach of creating device specific design, navigation and typography for making it easier for the users to use on their favorite design. However, if it is a branded app product and people are already used to it (like Instagram or Airbnb) then it is fine to take a brand oriented approach and keep consistent design across both platforms.

Limitations of React Native App Development

Limitations of React Native App Development

  • Lack of native libraries:
    If the app has a lot of features, React Native can slow down the development process due to a lack of native libraries and reliance on external, third-party libraries.
  • Takes more time to initialize:
    The issue with React Native is that it takes more time to initialize the runtime for gadgets and devices, mostly because of the JavaScript thread which takes time to initialize.
  • Excessive Device Support required
    Due to the variety of OEM Devices size, Type, Version, and OS Versions, it is challenging for a developer to provide full support to all the app uses in one go, so it becomes sort of a continuous exercise to extend support to more and more devices.
  • Still in pre-mature face
    React native latest version is 0.68 as of June 2022, which shows that it is still in face of evolving which is why it still have lack functionality. Good thing is that it is continuously maturing and have community support with big tech giants like Facebook & tesla also it easy to learn and understand even for the beginner.
  • React Native Doesn’t Fully Support NFC
    NFC enables the communication between nearby devices. But React Native Devices still don’t support or provide full access for NFC communication.

Future of React Native Development

As per our research and vision, and inputs from various Tech blogs we believe following is the future for react native app development (which is limitless btw):

Start-up first choice

Many big names like Facebook, Instagram, tesla and all have an app on react native also react native becomes one of the most discussed libraries on StackOverflow. Most startup and even enterprise start adopting it because it only needs a single manager to manage for both android and IOS app development which save it time, resources and money.

Better integration with Device’s and external Hardware

We are already working on some react native projects where we are interacting with external hardware (using Silabs or infi semiconductors) and have found that react native doesn’t always get priority support, however this is going to be changed in the future. React native will be more scalable and easier to integrate with device’s own hardware as well as external Hardware (Bluetooth, NFC devices).

Open the gate for new open-source frameworks

The domain-specific engineers are meet-up and do conferences in which each platform bring their own player who are working on a similar problem. Like web where react (which power react-native) which commonly draw inspiration from other open-source web frameworks like: Vue, Preact & Svelte. On mobile, React Native was inspired by other open-source mobile frameworks, and we learned from other mobile frameworks built within Facebook.

AR VR are here to stay, and grow. For Gaming and Beyond…

Augment reality Apps (AR Apps), Virtual Reality Apps (VR Apps) and games are still in their early stage. The future will have more “realistic” reality augmenting apps and also creating a more “real” virtual experience. Facebook has already conceived and launched meta, ViroReact is the first step toward this direction to give confidence that in future we can incorporate VR & AR with react. We also expect to see improvements to React Native for VR in open source. For example, we anticipate that projects aimed at reducing memory consumption for VR use cases will also reduce memory consumption for React Native on mobile and desktop experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ans: We’ve written a detailed blog post on App Development Cost that you can read here – How much does it cost to create an React Native App. For quick starters, a simple React Native App MVP may cost $ 10 K, while a bigger more useful and feature laden app can cost more than $ 20 K and beyond. You can always hire an React Native Developer starting from $ 2200/ month if you’re looking for creating a team of App developers remotely.
Ans: Not really, both are different. React native developers use javascript to code the front-end code that can work on both iOS and Android (and other platforms). Native developers are exclusive to their platforms, like an iOS developer would use Swift or legacy objective C to create a native iOS App while an Android native developer will use Kotlin or Java to create a native Android App.
Ans: Not really, a React Developer is usually a web developer who uses React technology (not react native per se) to create the front end of the web applications that may have backend in Mongodb, Node.js etc. While a react-native developer is largely focused on mobile app development only.
Ans: A 3 to 6 months of Tech maintenance is free from our side after going live. Post that you can hire us on retainer maintenance model for as low as $ 1000/ Mo or more (depending upon how many hours you retain us for). About Cloud cost – the cost of storage is always nominal, what these hosting and infra providers charge is for exchange of data and for a slew of several other services like security, backup, API calls and more. Here is a dedicated post on “How much does it cost to host your App on AWS”.
Ans: Yes, some of them are publicly displayed on our website and if you want to talk one on one then feel free to email us at [email protected].
Ans: It’s a pretty subjective question to answer, but if you want to create an app rapidly for both android and iOS using native you have to create the same application twice from scratch for both platforms and will probably need two different skill-set developers for the same. Whereas, deploying react native you can reuse the same code multiple times (for the front end) which saves effort, time and money as it is faster, cross platform, and easy to modify (single front end code base).
