Is React Native native or cross-platform?

React Native is built by Facebook and was designed to offer features that make it perfect for hybrid and native app development. To end the confusion for once and for all, it is a hybrid app development technology as you can use a single language to build applications for iOS and Android.

Like Xamarin, React Native is also a cross-platform mobile app development framework that allows developers to build mobile applications for Android and iOS devices with one tech stack.

The main purpose of React Native framework is to build truly native cross-platform applications . Native apps for iOS are generally written in Objective-C or Swift and for Android, it is written in Java.

React Native, an open-source framework from Facebook, builds on the popular React JavaScript framework, allowing developers to create cross-platform iOS and Android applications using JavaScript. It differs from other cross-platform frameworks that use JavaScript (such as PhoneGap, Titanium, etc.)
