Why React Native is a Tech stack of choice for the startups and why hiring Agicent React Native App Development Company to do the job?
React-native development offers several critical benefits which make it as a tech stack of choice for everyone, but especially App startups. Some of those are as follows:
React Native Allows Cross Platform Development
Enough said about this already, the first and biggest benefit is that react native allows you to write single code base that would run equally good on both iOS and Android platforms. It saves approximately 40% of the total cost and time-to-market of App development compared to when you use pure native technologies for the same.
React Native Development is Cost Effective
As mentioned above, its cross-platform capabilities cut down the cost of the projects by 40% and in some cases even more that that (in case of projects where majority of the code is on the front end vs backend code).
Higher Performance by React Native
React native development offers as good of a performance and user experience as pure native apps would do and in some cases even better than that especially in case of data heavy applications. Due to its base in Javascript, the loading of heavy content is done quickly without refreshing the whole page thus providing a seamless robust performance to the end user.
Large React Native Development Community & Support
The react native developers community is so active and vibrant that you’ll never find yourselves along. Hardly any month passes by when you don’t have a new react native library, pre-built components and frameworks are launched by the community (and mostly free). This vibrant community and continuous innovations help react native developers in doing faster development and also help in troubleshooting when needed. Also React native is backed by Facebook (now meta) and that proves its significance in the tech startups world.
Flexibility, Scalability, Wide Integrations
React native blends with other famous technologies very well, then be it going hybrid with a native code or integrating with famous third party APIs – react native development enjoys more support than any other cross platform development technology framework.
Easy Migration or Vice Versa With React.js
The most beautiful part that react native engineers love is that it is not just limited to creating mobile apps but react native code can always be extended to a web platform very easily. There are several frameworks available that helps migrating react native code to react js for web apps and vice versa.
Hot Reloading of the Apps
Compared to the native app development where you have to create a build to test or debug your code; doing so is very easy in react native because of Hot reloading which allows developers to see the results of their latest code and changes immediately, like your good old web development way.
React Native App Development Process at Agicent
Step 1 - Discovery Phase
At this step, Agicent’s analysts and development team understand the overall scope of the work and then break those down into weekly sprints and prioritize their development sequence according to client’s launch vision. A detailed project scope documentation is created here followed by the wireframes or clickable prototype of the design.
Step 2 - Wireframes and UI/ UX Design
Based on the overall scope of the work, our UI/ UX experts create the wireframes at first. Those wireframes are to depict the flow of the application for different user types and personas and once approved we convert those wireframes into beautiful high definition figma designs and again release those for customer’s approval and collaboration.
Step 3 - Tech Stack Identification, Development Setup and Initiation and Sprints
We always have react native app development setup ready to initiate new projects so there is no time lost in that part. The project is divided into weekly sprints with achievable targets defined and right engineers are allocated.
All dependencies like requirement of API endpoints from the backend developer, hosting environment setup, test cases and automated testing scripts setup etc is done here.
Step 4 - Standard React Native Development
- Creation of components with an emphasize of making them re-usable and scalable.
- Implement state management using tools like Redux, context Api.
- Integration with the APIs : including our own backend APIs as well as any third party APIs required for the project for fetching the data or doing a certain functionality.
Step 5 - Testing
- Creation of the elaborated test cases right from the day one and executing them with every new adhoc release (progressive release during testing).
- Unit testing of different components and functions individually.
- Integration testing to ensure different parts of the app are working as expected.
- UAT: doing end to end testing of the whole product including backend, front end, regression, etc.
- Automated Testing: using tools like appium, jest and sometimes writing our own test code to perform test tasks automatically.
Best Practices followed by Agicent React Native App Development Company
Preparation, Architecture, Tech Stack identification
First and foremost, we critically analyze if the App project is a good candidate for cross platform or react native development or not. In some pretty niche Apps, native can still be a technology of choice so ruling out this possibility is most important first step. Once it is identified that react native is the tech of choice, we then figure out the backend stack (like node.js or graphql, or traditional LAMP stack), or web front-end third-party libraries, like vue.js, typescript, redux etc.
Create and Follow Documentation, Make Project Wiki
Description of the desired project outcome will help you to keep on track the work. Documentation of the code will be an incredible source to know about HOW and most importantly WHY things had been done in a particular way.
Consider creating PoC for Projects that Heavily Depend Upon Third Party Technologies
As the title suggests, if the project is not so regular type and is heavily dependent upon third party libraries or technologies (like an AI library, or a hardware API) and when we’ve not used that critical tech before, we insist on creating a proof of concept (PoC) first just to demonstrate the feasibility of the core functionality.
Performance optimization, Build optimization
Native applications are top performers because they use stock APIs, patters, and enjoy best support from the OEM’s OS and hardware and you achieve great performance by the virtue of the platform. However, in case of creating a react native app, which is cross platform by the way you have to use a variety of testing tools (like Appium, jest, detox etc), be more meticulous for performance parameters, and optimize your code for best performance across different devices.
Common mistakes during React Native App Development – we’ve to Avoid these!
Following are some of the common mistakes being done while doing React Native App development that are better to be considered before starting the project.
Overestimating the leverage which react native provides
React native surely provides you the option to have a single code base for the front end, however it is important to know that the backend and integrations do take their own sweet time whether you use react native or pure native technologies.
Ignoring creating an MVP or Proof of Concept (PoC)
For the projects or technologies that we’ve (or someone else has) already worked upon it is fine to directly jump on creating the app; however, in case you want us to create an altogether new feature or technology that has never been done before then it is advisable to create an MVP or a proof of concept before creating the whole project.
Using big tools even when they are not needed
React native developers may tend to use big tools like Redux even in the simple of the Apps where they can use more harm than benefit. Since it’s a cross platform tech and big community works on it all the time, a lot of tools and frameworks keep coming to help in react native development but not all tools and frameworks are meant for all the apps.
Avoiding Testing on real iOS and Android Devices using separate builds
Again, since it’s a cross platform technology a developer can theoretically believe that if it runs fine on iOS then it will run on Android too and vice versa and may not give time to test the react native App on a real iOS or Android Device.
Neglecting image and resource optimization
Most of the time, React Native developers don't place a high value on images and resource optimization, which has an impact on app performance.
Future of React Native Development
As per our research and vision, and inputs from various Tech blogs we believe following is the future for react native app development (which is limitless btw):
Start-up first choice
Many big names like Facebook, Instagram, tesla and all have an app on react native also react native becomes one of the most discussed libraries on StackOverflow.
Better integration with Device’s and external Hardware
We are already working on some react native projects where we are interacting with external hardware (using Silabs or infi semiconductors) and have found that react native doesn’t always get priority support, however this is going to be changed in the future.
Open the gate for new open-source frameworks
The domain-specific engineers are meet-up and do conferences in which each platform bring their own player who are working on a similar problem.
AR VR are here to stay, and grow. For Gaming and Beyond…
Augment reality Apps (AR Apps), Virtual Reality Apps (VR Apps) and games are still in their early stage. The future will have more “realistic” reality augmenting apps and also creating a more “real” virtual experience.
