" summary

Compares React and React Native by naming concrete hurdles: JSX browser elements map to Views/Touchables, styling is inline with flexbox, and browser localStorage becomes AsyncStorage with security and offline concerns. Mentions quick starts like create-react-app and CRNA, warns about per-platform native bridge code and App Store friction, gives a food-delivery client that used Ionic/PWA tradeoff and advises full native for location/payment, and cites the Fabric rewrite (threading, async rendering, simpler bridge).
