Tips and Outlook

This chapter is divided into two parts. In the first part, I collected the most useful tips on how to make your React Native project a success. These tips come the things I have learned through a lot of different React Native projects I have worked on as a developer, consultant, software architect, or product owner. I also use React Native as a tech stack in my own companies, where I’m responsible for the business side, so I also know the requirements and pain points of this side.

The second part is an outlook on how I think React Native, its community, and its ecosystem will develop in the future. This is based on its technical development as well as the commitment from different big players in the community.

This means you will learn the following things in this chapter:

  • Understanding the most important things to make your React Native project a success
  • Understanding the bright future of React Native
