Cross-platform mobile with shared web logic
App Corp builds cross-platform mobile applications with React Native for B2B SaaS, healthcare, and education. Shared TypeScript types, native UX, and rapid delivery.
React Native renders native UI components using JavaScript — not web views. The architecture we use:
Expo as the development framework — it provides build tools, over-the-air updates, and a managed workflow that eliminates Xcode/Android Studio configuration for most use cases.
React Native Paper or NativeBase for UI components — providing native Material Design or iOS-style components that feel platform-appropriate.
Shared TypeScript types between the React web app and React Native mobile app — API clients, validation schemas, and business logic are 100% shared. When we add a new API endpoint, both apps get type safety immediately.
React Native Reanimated and Gesture Handler for smooth 60fps animations — critical for making the app feel native rather than wrapped.
One team, one sprint cycle, one release. Trade-off: platform-specific quirks still require native debugging knowledge.
API clients, types, and business logic can be shared with a React web app. Trade-off: React Native and React DOM have different rendering models — UI code is not directly shared.
Expo and React Native tooling speed up development significantly. Trade-off: some native functionality requires writing platform-specific modules.
React Native apps include the JavaScript runtime. Trade-off: app size is 2-5MB larger than equivalent native apps — usually acceptable for B2B.
React Native development costs are typically 60-70% of building two separate native apps. Expo provides free tier for development and EAS Build for CI/CD. App store fees are $99/year (Apple) and $25 one-time (Google). For most B2B SaaS apps, the cost savings from code sharing justify any performance trade-offs.
We chose React Native for EduPilotPro's parent mobile app because the team was already deep in React/TypeScript and the app's primary interactions were data display and form submission. The shared API client layer between the web and mobile apps eliminated an entire class of integration bugs.
Our React Native experience includes Expo for build tooling, React Native Paper for native-feel UI, Reanimated for smooth animations, and push notification setup for iOS and Android. We invested in platform-specific UX patterns — iOS got native navigation, Android got Material Design — so the app feels native on both platforms.
The key lesson: React Native is the right choice when your team knows React, your app is data-driven (not graphics-heavy), and you need code sharing with a web platform. We built the mobile app in 6 weeks — a timeline that would have been impossible with two native teams.
