Hire React Native developers

Since 2022 our React Native developers have logged 44,300 hours across 37 products, 13 of them past a thousand hours. How that is staffed matters more than the total: React Native here comes out of our React practice. Forty-one people have shipped React Native work, fourteen of them with it as their main stack. If you want an app that shares its language, tooling and people with your web frontend, that is the shape we are built for. If you want a deep native team instead, our iOS practice is the more honest answer.

Faster than any other stack we track, for an unglamorous reason: the roles are small and the candidates overlap with React. Six closed React Native hires ran a median of 14 days from opening the role to a signed offer, and 8 days from a candidate’s first conversation to an accepted offer. The caveat is the bench, not the recruiting — five developers here hold React Native as their primary stack, so who is free swings from week to week. Sometimes the honest answer is a React developer who has shipped React Native before.

React Native goes wrong at the edges — store submissions, native modules, the version upgrades that break a build for a week — and those are exactly the jobs that need someone who has done them on your app before. Our longest-running React Native product has had the same three developers on it since 2022 and still ships. Judge a vendor on who handles your next OS release, not on who writes the first screens.

One to three developers, two being the median on a product past a thousand hours. That is not a limitation we work around: cross-platform apps of the size we usually take on do not go faster with more people. The same team normally covers both stores, and on several engagements the React Native developers are also the ones writing the web app.

React Native is an open-source framework developed by Facebook that allows developers to build mobile applications using JavaScript and the React library. It enables the creation of cross-platform apps, meaning you can write code once and deploy it on both iOS and Android devices.

While React is primarily used for building web applications, React Native focuses on building native mobile applications. React Native uses native components and APIs, which allows it to deliver a more native-like user experience compared to traditional hybrid frameworks.

Yes, React Native is designed to support both iOS and Android platforms. It provides a set of platform-specific components and APIs that allow you to create consistent user interfaces and access device functionalities on both platforms.

No, you don't need to learn Swift or Java to develop with React Native. React Native applications are primarily written in JavaScript, which means you can leverage your existing JavaScript skills to build mobile apps. However, if you want to write platform-specific code or integrate native modules, knowledge of Swift (for iOS) or Java (for Android) can be beneficial.

React Native uses a similar component-based architecture to React, but the components themselves are different. While some components might have the same name and similar functionality, React Native components are designed specifically for mobile environments and have a different implementation. However, you can reuse your existing React knowledge and apply it to React Native development.
