React Native limitations 2021

Facebook only developed React Native to support iOS . However, with it’s recent support of the Android operating system, the library can now provide mobile UIs for both platforms. Facebook used React Native to develop its own Ads Manager app, creating both an iOS and an Android version.

Our native infrastructure team will support React Native through 2018 . In 2019, we will begin to ramp down support and reduce some of the React Native overhead such as initializing the runtime on launch. At Airbnb, we are strong believers in open source.
