Even if your product is primarily for one platform, the reality of your users demanding smooth experiences and impeccable functioning on many others will hit you sooner or later. Building for mobile, web, TV, or even VR might feel like juggling a dozen balls at once—each calling for a dedicated skill set, timeline, and budget.

But it doesn't have to be that way. At least not if you’re relying on React and React Native, which open doors to multiplatform app development using the same codebase across all those platforms. You save time, cut costs, and keep everything consistent, while your team gets to focus on what really matters.

In this episode, Łukasz sits down with Mo Javad to discuss this very approach: multiplatform app development with React and React Native. From the roots of the multiplatform vision and key strategic consideration to specific business cases and tech solutions facilitating code-sharing, they’re unpacking everything you need to know to build applications that run smoothly on any platform.

Multiplatform app development strategies and best practices

The formation of a multiplatform vision and resulting benefits:

  • The possibilities for building universal apps and how they changed over time
  • A business perspective on going multiplatform with React at the core
  • Early attempts to and challenges of sharing UI

Today's multiplatform choices:

  • How React Native breaks down silos, streamlining team structures and workflows
  • A roundup of different multiplatform approaches you can adopt based on your product and industry-specific needs
  • Deep-dive into UI libraries, navigation, business logic, styling, and animations

Case study of a universal streaming platform built with React Native:

  • Strategies and technological project decisions that impact project success and efficiency, e.g., monorepo considerations and build strategies
  • Day-to-day project realities, such as code reviews or breaking team silos
  • Bundler choices, including Webpack, Metro, and Re.Pack
