I recently started building an app using Cordova. I chose Cordova because I'd used it before and enjoy using VueJS (have used React and have no problems with it, just really enjoy Vue).
What a mistake.
I run into problems with the build on a weekly basis. I generally have very good debugging skills but in many cases could not figure out what was wrong. Usually `cordova platform remove ios && cordova platform add ios` fixed it. There is a ton of state in there and it's never been clear to me how to make it reproducible from the configs.
Many plugins simply don't work as they are outdated and not compatible with new iOS/Android versions. Using Firebase for notifications is one example.
Of course, I greatly appreciate the open-source authors who built all this and I don't expect them to solve my problems for free. I'm just pointing out my own mistake in choosing to use this tool, which doesn't solve as many problems as I thought it did.
Can any developers here say whether they've had a smooth experience using React Native? I'll definitely be trying it out soon...
- solidr53 8y agoThere is a small step to get all the build tools into your mindset, xcode and gradle. For me the javascript side of things has been very stable. I have built couple of native like applications with react native, and my only recomendation is using native navigation, it is key. https://loremipsum.ueno.co/using-react-native-to-build-a-professional-consumer-apps-7c9c99cd0605 https://loremipsum.ueno.co/using-react-native-to-build-a-pro...
