App development often requires the developer to have the knowledge of different platforms like android, ios, the two leading operating systems for mobile devices. To develop android apps one need to learn complex language like Java or Kotlin and Android Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environment) whereas for ios languages are Swift, C#, objective C and Xcode as environment. The two applications may have the same layout and logic but several components of the user interface (UI) will differ and the applications themselves need to be developed in two different languages. Besides, certain hybrid mobile application frameworks existing in the market were not able to cater similar experience to the same user on all native platforms. This thesis has evaluated the newly released framework React Native that can create both iOS and Android applications by compiling the code written in React. The resulting applications can share code and consist of the UI components which are unique for each platform. The thesis focused on Android and tried to replicate an existing Android Application in order to measure user experience and performance. The result was surprisingly positive for React Native as some users could not tell the two applications apart and nearly all users did not mind using a React Native application. The overall experience is that React Native a very interesting framework that can simplify the development process for mobile applications to a high degree. As long as the application itself is not too complex, the development is uncomplicated and one is able to create an application in very short time and be compiled to both Android and iOS. The application base was set up using Expo. Expo is a framework and a platform for universal React applications. It is a set of tools and services built around React Native and native platforms that help you develop, build, deploy, and quickly iterate on iOS, Android, and web apps from the same JavaScript/TypeScript codebase.
