Modern software projects grow at a fast pace with new features, hot-fixes, refactors and migration, codebases tend to accumulate dead code, unused dependencies, and files that were forgotten but are still sitting in your source code. As a project grows, most of the time unused code starts piling up. As a result it slows down […]
Let me be upfront with you: I was sceptical. When everyone started talking about how Gen-AI coding assistants would “10x” developer productivity, I rolled my eyes. I’ve been building React Native apps for years and I’ve seen plenty of silver bullets that turned out to be more trouble than they’re worth. But over the past […]
Introduction Animations are not decoration. In mobile applications, they communicate state, guide attention, and create perceived performance. If your UI drops frames, users feel it instantly. In the React Native ecosystem, React Native Reanimated has become the de-facto standard for building high-performance, gesture-driven animations that run smoothly even under heavy JS load. This article is […]
Why This Matters for React Native IAP Developers If you have shipped iOS purchases with react-native-iap, you know the ritual: Base64 receipt blobs, global listeners scattered across files, flaky Sandbox testers, and a backend endpoint Apple is actively shutting down. StoreKit 2 is not a patch — it is a clean architectural rewrite. Apple rebuilt […]
How to start writing tests, which libraries to use, why they matter, and how to run them Let me be honest with you. When I first started building React Native apps, I skipped writing tests entirely. I told myself the usual things: “I’ll add them later,” “the app is too small,” “I know this code works.” Then, […]

Forget waiting for app store approvals; push updates directly to your users with zero friction. 🙌 Why Use Stallion? ✅ Built-in Testing Framework to validate updates before production 🔁 Switch Between App […]
If you’re maintaining a React Native monorepo and need a repeatable, one-click iOS build pipeline, this post walks you through a production-grade Jenkins setup that: Selects environments, schemas, and configs at build time Installs dependencies (Node, Ruby/Bundler, CocoaPods) cleanly Archives and exports an IPA via xcodebuild Uploads artifacts to Amazon S3 Generates a pre-signed download […]
Introduction With the evolution of React Native, the New Architecture brings significant performance and maintainability improvements through features like TurboModules, Fabric, and C++ shared logic. Upgrading to this architecture can seem intimidating—but with the right strategy, it’s achievable. In this blog, I’ll walk you through two practical approaches to upgrading your project to the New Architecture in React Native, […]
Introduction What is Zustand? Zustand is a powerful and lightweight state-management library for React and React Native—it’s designed to be fast, minimal, and easy to use. It uses a central store with hooks-based API, eliminating boilerplate while supporting middleware, persistence, and more. Key Benefits Minimal boilerplate — no actions, reducers, or providers needed. High performance — components subscribe […]
