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 […]
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, […]
Introduction Migrating a TV application across platforms is rarely straightforward. If you have ever built a React Native Android TV application and later heard the question: Different programming languages. Different UI systems. Different focus and navigation models. This is not a simple port, it’s a rewrite. In this blog, I share a practical, production-focused approach […]
Introduction Keeping your app users up-to-date instantly is easier than ever with Stallion, a powerful tool for Over-the-Air (OTA) updates in React Native. 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 […]
If your React Native app suddenly refuses to launch on certain new Android devices — with cryptic messages like: “requires 16KB page size” “failed to map segment from shared object” or even a mysterious native crash before your JS code ever runs …then you’ve run head-first into Android’s 16K page size change. This guide explains […]
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 […]
React Native has gained significant attention for building mobile applications that work across platforms with a single codebase.However, as projects scale, managing component props, state types, and API integrations can become challenging. That’s where TypeScript shines. In this blog, we’ll explore how to integrate TypeScript into a React Native project, understand its benefits, and review […]
