Usually before developing an app, you will need to decide which platforms you want to build for. iOS, Android or web are the main options we need to consider. Each platform requires a different app, so you will need 1 app for iPhone, 1 for Android and another for web. But with React Native we can build all of them at once. At Potado, we offer a wide range of React Native app development services to meet your business needs. Our services include:
React Native is growing to become the most popular framework for developing mobile apps. The Facebook owned framework is constantly being improve and used by some of the biggest applications on the app store. Building an app for all the different app stores is a huge endeavour and a costly one as well. It also causes scaling issues for small startups as you need developers with different skills. React Native is planning to change that by becoming the 1 codebase to all platforms framework.
Developers can add React Native into their existing iOS or Android app projects, or they can start a new project from scratch. React Native relies on the JavaScript programming language, making it a very attractive option for web developers, especially those who come from a React background. React Native components are rendered into native UI components. What that means is that with React Native, developers can create say a top navigation bar, then the framework will convert that to the native iOS style component on iPhone and iPad, and it will then convert the top na bar to an Android UI on Android devices. React Native has several of these platform agnostic components such as Views, ScrollViews, and Images. React Native developers are also able to build fast and test easily with fast refresh. The app automatically refreshes once a change has been made to the code.
But the most important reason why you should develop your app with React Native is the development community. The community is one of the largest development communities around which extends from the JavaScript community. Having a large developer community means that the framework is constantly being improved and new complimentary tools are being developed as well. Javascript is also one of the most popular programming languages, and React and React Native the most popular frameworks, meaning if you want to scale up your startup or build and internal development team, finding developers will be easy.
Expo is a popular open-source toolchain for building React Native apps. It provides a set of pre-built components, such as camera, maps, and push notifications, which makes it easier to get started with app development.
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps to manage the state of the application, making it easier to debug and maintain. It is a popular choice among React Native developers.
Context API is a new feature in React that allows for sharing data between components without using props. It makes it easier to manage state in larger applications and is a popular choice among React Native developers.
React Native Navigation is a popular library for managing navigation in React Native apps. It provides a native navigation experience, which is fast and efficient. It supports both iOS and Android platforms and is easy to use.
JavaScript is the primary language used for React Native development. It is a versatile language that can be used for both front-end and back-end development.
TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. It helps to catch errors at compile time, making it easier to debug and maintain code.
A successful React Native app development company knows that having an efficient process is essential to developing a polished app. With a well planned process, the development time will be cut down, mistakes and misunderstandings avoided, and communication will be fantastic. We take time to make sure our process works like a well oiled machine and we involve you as much as you would like. During the way our app developers will be able to explain very technical topics in a simple easy to understand way. This a rundown of our process:
Before starting any project, we will start the discovery phase. During this phase we will work with you to explain everything you need to know about how to develop an app, technical options for he development of your project, the functionality of the app, and monetization strategies.
After the initial planning our team will then draw up some wireframes. Wireframes are simple outlined sketches used to sketch and plan layouts and app functionality. We will work with you to make sure we fully understand your vision. Our app developers will also start planning the database structure based on the data the app will collect from users.
With the wireframes our UX specialists will make the app colorful. We use tools such as Figma, Adobe XD and Sketch to draw up elegant user interface designs using the latest design principles. The app will not only look great but the usability will be second to none.
This is where we do our magic. Our React Native app development team will now use the planning, wireframes and designs to code a well engineered application. Our developers speak JavaScript and build well polished apps that scale with millions of users. This process is the longest part of a project and we involve you as much as you want to be. If you want to test the app from week 1, no problem, if you just want the finished product delivered to you, no problem at all.
Quality assurance is a very important aspect of any product. Once development is complete we will work with you to test all features of the app as if we were users. We will use the app as if we were users and test all possible cases before we launch to ensure there are no issues.
After testing we are ready to go live. We will help you set up your app store listings on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and Huawei App Gallery, upload your apps, and after a short review we will be live.
If you are looking for a React Native app development company in Singapore to bring your ideas to life, we are ready to work with you as a technical partner to develop an app that looks well, works well, and grows with your business. This is what some of our clients have to say:
"We were looking for a company that could develop our website into a mobile app. We already had an established user base in Singapore and wanted to make a product for them. During our initial chat, Potado introduced us to the React Native framework. We ended up developing the app and it was completed on time with a pleasing result. We will continue to work with them and recommend anyone we know."
"We already had our apps developed by another agency and they were live on both the Android and Apple app stores. We don't have an in-house developer and have been working with an app development company but the costs and timeframes have been too high. Potado suggested that we switch our app from native to React Native, this way we only had to maintain and upgrade one app instead of two. They helped us with the transition and we will be working with them for updates as long as we need."
