React Native or Native? How We Decide for Each App
Cross-platform is the right default for most products, but not all of them.
For most business apps, a cross-platform framework such as React Native or Flutter delivers one codebase, faster iteration and an experience users cannot tell apart from native.
We reach for Swift and Kotlin when the app lives close to the hardware: heavy camera or audio processing, complex background work, deep platform integrations, or animation budgets that leave no headroom.
Team matters too. If your web product is already built in React and TypeScript, sharing logic and people with a React Native app is a real advantage.
Whichever route we take, we plan store releases, crash reporting and offline behaviour from the first sprint rather than the last.
