Creating Mobile Apps Drupal and React Native
summary
A production mobile app called Vaccines on the Go uses a Drupal 8 backend and a React Native frontend to deliver vaccine guidance for a major hospital; it implements Firebase push + analytics, deep links, video embedding via WebView, PDF rendering with react-native-pdf, and offline caching in a prepopulated SQLite (react-native-sqlite-storage) local DB with a ~3-minute cache policy. The app ships to both App Store and Play Store and runs with Redux and React Navigation.
