I'm using React Native as a web developer who wants to create a native app. Native performance with the familiarity and simplicity of web devlopment. I don't know why anyone would build a Cordova app anymore.


In my case it's very simple - so I can deploy the same code to the web. Not many people will want to do that though.


does react native support android yet?


About 4 months away now I think. But you could conceivably use something like Reapp until React Native supports Android. That's what I'll likely end up doing. Not ideal but React Native has already saved me so much time I'm not worried about the Android problem really.


Thanks for mentioning Reapp, I hadn't heard about it. I'm facing the same problem as you as I'm starting to build an app for Android and iOS and I can't really see myself building it the 'old way' after having tried React Native. Have you tried Reapp?
