Is it using React Native?

• pavlov 11y ago
  No, the generated code uses the native frameworks on each platform. (We basically have separate back-ends for each supported platform: iOS, Android, Apple Watch.) It's "dependency-free" -- there's no intermediate runtime or framework involved. This keeps app sizes down, and also makes the generated UI code easier to integrate with programmers' workflows. We started on this a long time before React Native was announced, so it wasn't even an option... However recently we've been entertaining the thought of generating React Native instead of the native UI frameworks. That would be a major pivot for the product, but if React Native takes off, it might make sense. What do you think?

    I'd far prefer a generator that creates pure native code over one that creates a dependency.

    As we have discussed before ;) I would think it smarter to allow developers to hook into the code generation process so it can be integrated in their own toolchain and processes.

  Please support React Native output! RN is taking off pretty rapidly...

  He said it targets Android so its obviously not using React Native.
