Why create a chat app with React Native?

Why create a chat app with React Native?

If you create a chat app, you also need to create it for your mobile device. Mobile messaging apps are becoming more and more popular and currently have over 3 billion users. Therefore, you need to focus on your mobile platform so you don't miss most of your target audience. This is where React Native can be the perfect tool. This framework allows you to create great mobile apps with lower development costs and faster time to market, offering other competitive benefits.

  1. Reduced development time React Native

A cross-platform app development tool, allows you to write the same code on Android and iOS. Unlike native app development, the cross-platform approach allows you to hire only one team of developers and UI designers instead of separate teams of native Android and iOS developers. As a result, React Native speeds up the development process and speeds up finished product preparation.

In addition, having a single team ensures smoother communication and coordination, and increases revenue. Also, from a technical point of view, React Native is designed for rapid development. The hot reload feature allows you to modify your code while your application is running and see the results immediately. This method can save you a lot of time when developing a chat application.

  1. Reusable components

React Native allows you to build your user interface with reusable components such as buttons, sliders, and widgets. You can use such components as often as you like without writing any additional code. The component makes development faster and more consistent by inserting the same code where you need it. React Native comes with quite a few pre-built components. There are also several component libraries in the developer community.

  1. Native-like performance

React Native isn't exactly "native" in the purest sense, but the look and feel of apps built with this framework is as close to native as possible. React Native supports smooth integration with native components for the highest quality native performance and a great user experience. This is achieved because the JavaScript functionality is executed in a separate thread that passes the business logic of the app.

  1. Update Automatically

wireless update Another useful feature of React Native is wireless (OTA) updates. This allows you to bypass the JavaScript code bundle and push it directly to your mobile device, bypassing the App Store and Google Play.

The standard update procedure is to approve app updates in the app store before releasing them to users. However, the standard procedure is very time consuming and can be a disadvantage if you need to submit an update to fix a critical bug. With the OTA update, such fixes will be much faster. However, the caveat here is that you can't use the OTA update feature for large updates that haven't yet passed through the app store.

  1. Modular architecture

React Native supports a modular app architecture that streamlines updates and makes development more intuitive and flexible. At the same time, the modular structure makes it easy to test your app through a very simple process of creating test scenarios. In addition, the modular app architecture enables a smooth transition for React.

Conclusion

Chat app save time and you focus on building your core app process and make it market-ready much quicker. Hire React Native Developers from Authorselvi to build your Mobile App.Contact us info@authorselvi.com
