I recently attended the virtual Cross-Platform Mobile Development Summit 2020 and here are my short notes, resources & a list of people to follow in case you’re interested in learning more about the topics listed. This blog post is divided into two main parts: React Native & Flutter.
React Native
Learn Once, write anywhere
- React native is not a hybrid solution, transpiled language nor completely native.
- React Native is bundled, i.e. it interacts with native the mobile APIs. Bundlers for React Native: Metro(default), Expo.
- Nowadays, with a single React Native codebase, you can not only create Android & iOS apps, but also web, Windows & macOS apps. Checkout react native for web & React Native for Windows + macOS.
- Also see React Native for Web Developers.
- Here’s an example cross-platform application which demonstrates how you can request camera permissions for different platforms (Android, iOS & Web) using a single codebase.
- You can also create Progressive Web Apps using React Native.
