React Native really is a game changer for mobile development. I picked it up last year to build a new iOS app for the first time since the old Objective-C/UI-Kit days. I was literally building things in minutes that would have taken hours or days of writing custom OpenGL and networking code back then. Any performance tradeoffs left at this point are worth it IMO.
- PainfullyNormal 4y agoI picked up React Native a few years ago for a project and spent a week doing nothing but fighting the build system. And then I spent another week doing the same on Android. The first question that popped into my head when I saw this headline was: Is React Native still a hot mess?

There's no more struggling with native binary dependency hell. And the entire App store submission process is completely managed; building, signing, uploading, and pushing a new version from your machine to Apple is just a single CLI command.
