React Native doesn't abstract mobile frameworks, so you still need to learn it all as far as iOS UIKit and Android SDK (and also learn React Native stuff on top of it).
That said, there is something about coding in mostly one language (javascript) vs 2 or 3 (Objc/Swift/Android) and also have that live app reloading.
In any case, this react stuff is not for beginners and won't make learning mobile platforms easier - you will still need to put in obligatory 10k hours to get good at mobile dev...
- roboguy12 10y agoAside from the live reloading and being able to write in javascript as opposed to Swift/Java, the development paradigms of React is just better, IMO. The component-based design patterns and event-dispatching-based control flow just make so much more sense to me than the traditional Android/iOS way of doing things (I have experience in both the web and mobile). It's easier to test, easier to read/write, and easier to reason about. This is just opinion of course, others may not feel the same.
