Summary

This chapter started with a brief introduction to React Native and Galio, and then we understood the main focus points as to why those libraries are good for your next personal cross-platform mobile app project. After fully understanding why learning about those libraries will help them become great assets in the future, we started setting up our React Native environment and learning everything there is to learn about testing and utilizing our soon-to-be-created mobile app.

We then created and tested our first React Native app! This has all been quite the journey for a newcomer into this beautiful world of programming and, trust me, it was all worth it. Everything you've learned here will serve as a base for what's coming up next. Isn't this all exciting? In the next chapter, it's time for us to learn the basics of React Native code writing and create even cooler apps.
