From Native to React Native

on YouTube ↗07m

" summary

An existing mobile app is rebuilt from scratch in React Native, keeping the backend API initially but discovering API changes must happen earlier with mobile and backend engineers paired. Navigation starts on react-native-navigation -> react-navigation, a six week migration that reduces hacks. Sticky headers and third‑party SDKs cause surprises (some vendors open forks). TypeScript adoption and CI lead to 70% test coverage and smoother rollout: internal beta June (50 users), expanded to 500, then international, with production deployment slated by month end.
