React Native app development: one codebase, both stores

Notion Tech builds iPhone and Android apps with React Native and Expo. One team and one codebase deliver native apps for both platforms. The Rostery worker app, built this way, is live on the App Store and Google Play.

Why React Native and Expo

React Native renders real native components, so apps feel right on each platform, while most of the code is shared. Expo adds a reliable build pipeline and over-the-air updates, which let us ship fixes without waiting for a new store review.

Lessons from a live app

The Rostery worker app handles GPS clock-in, background location, trip capture, offline notes and push notifications on a wide range of phones. We have been through App Store and Google Play review many times, including the privacy and location questions that often delay launches.

Questions about React Native

Still have a question? Talk to us.

Is React Native as good as a native app?

For most business and consumer apps, yes. It renders native components and can use native modules when a feature needs them.

Do you need separate teams for iOS and Android?

No. One team builds both from one codebase, which lowers cost and keeps features in step.

Can React Native apps work offline?

Yes. We store data on the device and sync when the connection returns.

How do app updates work?

Small fixes can ship over the air through Expo. Larger changes go through store review, which we handle.
