Xamarin vs React Native: A Short Comparison

đź’ˇRecently we have reviewed two frameworks: Flutter and React Native. Today let's compare React Native and XAMARIN.
✍🏻The Android team and the iOS team might implement the same feature completely differently. As we know, the tools you use to create an app for Android will not work for iOS app development and vice versa. For that reason, developers use cross-platform solutions, including Xamarin and React Native.
đź“ŚXamarin allows creating one single application logic using C # and .NET. In this framework, applications can send requests to API interfaces on devices. When the visual interface is defined, the C # logic is attached, and the app works on both Android and iOS.
đź“ŚReact Native is a JS framework based on JS and React created by Facebook. With React Native, you don't build a "mobile web app," an "HTML5 app", or a "hybrid app." You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C or Java. Due to the fact that the version for Android appeared later, the one for iOS has more components.

âť—Xamarin's advantages include the following:
Single technology stack
Cost-effective development.
Easy prototyping
Native Experience in UI.

âť—Cons of Using Xamarin:
Not all Open Source Libraries available.
Not for heavy graphics.
Problems with 3rd-party tools.

âť—Pros of Using React Native
Big Community
Native-like performance
Reusable code
One team for several apps

âť—Cons of Using React Native
Developers for native modules
3rd-party components trouble
Performance issues
Slower updates
