What a React Native app gives your business
Shared code for both stores
Shared iOS and Android logic and components, with platform-specific work and testing scoped explicitly.
Less duplicated feature work
Reuse suitable logic and components while budgeting for native modules, platform differences and release testing.
Code shared with the web
Compatible logic, API clients and design tokens reused where the web and mobile architectures support it.
A planned update route
Eligible JavaScript and asset updates delivered through a configured update system; native and policy-sensitive changes follow the required release route.
What is included in React Native app development
Each project is scoped to your business, but these are the building blocks we plan, build and support.
- Discovery and scopeUsers, jobs, platforms and systems mapped, and a first release scoped around one outcome.
- UX and UI designFlows, wireframes and a tested prototype that respects iOS and Android conventions.
- React Native buildA TypeScript codebase on a supported architecture, with reviewable builds at agreed checkpoints.
- Native modulesNative modules for eligible scanner, terminal, sensor or specialized features, with SDK access, device support and maintenance assessed.
- Back end and integrationsAgreed APIs, admin tools and supported payment, booking, CRM or back-office connections, with access, record authority and data-protection responsibilities defined.
- Testing on both platformsReal devices, operating system versions, slow networks, accessibility and store guidelines.
- Store launch and ASODeveloper-account authority confirmed against provider eligibility and the agreement, with approved listings, screenshots and scoped app store optimization.
- Support and updatesSeparately purchased monitoring, framework and OS updates, eligible remote fixes and improvements under an agreed support scope.

React Native developers
React Native developers who also write Swift and Kotlin
Executive summary: React Native can share JavaScript or TypeScript code across iOS and Android, with platform-specific work where the product needs it. Existing React web code may offer useful reuse, while the actual savings depend on the app’s design, integrations and maintenance needs. Canada Create™ was established in 2008 and currently serves businesses across Canada and the United States. This page explains what React Native is and who maintains it, when it is the right choice compared with Flutter and native builds, what it does well and where its limits are, how a project runs, what drives the cost, and how to choose a React Native app development company.
What React Native is
React Native is an open-source framework, started at Meta and now maintained with a broad community, that lets developers write an app in JavaScript or TypeScript using React, the same library behind many modern websites, and run it as a real native app on iOS and Android. The screens are native components, not a web page in a wrapper, with platform-specific design and accessibility behaviour still requiring implementation and testing. An existing React web product may offer compatible logic, team skills and design assets for reuse. The proposal assesses that overlap alongside mobile-specific interfaces, dependencies and ongoing maintenance.
When React Native is the right choice
React Native can suit business and consumer apps built from screens, lists, forms, maps, payments, chat and notifications: ordering and booking apps, customer accounts, marketplaces, field apps, membership and education apps, and the mobile side of a software product. An existing or planned web product can make reuse worth assessing with our web app development team, because compatible business logic, API clients and design tokens may be shared. Heavy graphics, real-time games, intensive video processing or deep hardware control need a technical assessment. Native modules, specialized engines or a fully native Swift or Kotlin app may be appropriate depending on the workload. Native modules can support an eligible feature, such as a payment terminal or scanner, while shared code remains elsewhere; SDK access, device support and maintenance still need assessment.
React Native or Flutter
Both frameworks can share code across iOS and Android, while platform-specific features and testing remain part of the work. React Native uses React and JavaScript or TypeScript with native-backed components; Flutter uses Dart and its own widget system, with adaptive design and native integration options. An existing React stack may make React Native attractive, while a custom visual system or planned Flutter web and desktop targets may favour Flutter. We compare the required features, team skills, dependencies and maintenance rather than treating either as a universal winner.
How a React Native project runs
The proposal identifies the users, required task, supported devices, interfaces and acceptance measures for the first release. Your team provides product decisions, permitted data, access to supported systems and timely design approvals. Mobile app design covers flows, wireframes and an agreed prototype, with platform-specific acceptance checks. Integrations use synthetic or appropriately minimized approved records, with production access and rollout agreed separately. The test scope identifies devices, operating system versions, network conditions, accessibility, performance, security and applicable store requirements. Developer-account authority depends on provider eligibility and the agreement. Listings and app store optimization are scoped for the intended distribution, with store review controlled by Apple or Google. Ongoing support is agreed separately.
Performance, updates and native modules
React Native’s current architecture improves communication between JavaScript and native code, but performance still depends on the application, libraries and target devices. We profile release builds against the interactions and workloads that matter to your users, and assess native-library compatibility with the selected framework version. An update system can deliver JavaScript and asset changes compatible with the installed native runtime where store rules allow. Changes to native code, native dependencies or native permission configuration require a new binary and the applicable store-release process. Runtime compatibility alone does not establish store-policy permission. Policy-sensitive functionality is assessed for required review. Where a feature needs supported native access, a scoped Swift or Kotlin module can retain shared code elsewhere, subject to SDK availability and permissions.
What drives React Native app development cost
Every app is quoted in writing after discovery. The cost drivers are the number of screens and user roles, integrations with payments, booking, CRM and back-office systems, native modules for hardware or specialized features, offline use and sync, whether a back end and admin panel are needed, security and compliance requirements, and the design work already done. A proposal separates the build from support and from third-party costs such as developer accounts, cloud hosting and paid services. Shared code can reduce duplicated work, but platform-specific implementation, testing, native modules and maintenance still have costs. The proposal compares the actual scope rather than assuming every feature costs half as much.
Maintaining a React Native app
Platforms, React Native and third-party dependencies change over time. Project work includes reasonable handover training and 90 days of limited defect support after acceptance, as set out in our Terms of Service. Ongoing monitoring, platform updates and maintenance are separately scoped. A separately agreed support plan covers monitoring and crash reporting, framework and dependency updates, operating system changes, store policy changes, eligible over-the-air fixes and small improvements, with larger features scoped as their own projects. Project-account authority is confirmed against provider rules and the agreement. Finalized custom work transfers after full and final payment, with any required Canada Create™ credit retained; pre-existing tools and third-party or open-source components retain their rights and licence terms. A handover records the React Native, native-platform and deployment skills needed to maintain it.
How to choose a React Native app development company
Ask to install React Native apps the company has built on both an iPhone and an Android phone and judge whether they feel native. Ask whether the developers also write Swift and Kotlin for native modules, and how they decide when a native module is needed. Ask how updates are shipped, how testing on both platforms is done, and who owns the code and accounts. Ask how cost splits between build, support and third parties. Written scope, evidence, exclusions and responsibilities help you compare proposals before committing.

What clients say on Google
Reviews pulled live from our Google Business Profile.
They created a beautiful, professional website that brings together my treatments and makes it easy for visitors to learn about the clinic, explore their options, and book a consultation. Having a website I feel proud to share is a wonderful feeling. It gives people an introduction to ProDerma before they even walk through the door.
Their work has also included Google Business Profile optimization, helping me strengthen how my clinic appears on Google Search and Maps. For a local clinic in downtown Toronto, making it easier for people to find accurate information about my services, location, and booking options is incredibly valuable.
What stays with me most is the care and effort behind the work. I’m grateful to Amir and the Canada Create team for helping me build an online presence that reflects the business I’m working so hard to grow.
I would happily recommend Canada Create to other clinic owners and business owners looking for website design, Google Business Profile optimization, and thoughtful marketing guidance. Thank you for supporting ProDerma Clinic and for putting so much heart into your work!
As the owner of a boutique medical aesthetics practice, my business is very personal to me. I wanted a website that showed not just my services, but the philosophy, warmth and individualized care behind my practice. I had a very particular vision, and Canada Create brought it to life more beautifully than I imagined.
From day one, Amir was professional, enthusiastic and detail-oriented, and he took a real interest in understanding my business. He and his team treated the project as a partnership. They took the time to learn what makes my practice unique and how to communicate that to new clients.
The website is beautiful. It's elegant, welcoming and thoughtfully designed, from the overall look and photography to how the information is laid out. It feels authentic to my brand and makes exactly the impression I was hoping for.
They also arranged a professional photoshoot for my practice, which was a highlight. The photos add a personal touch that captures the personality of my business. That matters so much in an industry built on trust and connection.
I've been just as impressed by their technical knowledge. Canada Create manages my website analytics and helps me understand how the site is performing and how to grow my online presence over time. That ongoing support is invaluable. They understand a website has to do more than look good. It has to help build the business.
Their communication, patience and willingness to listen have been wonderful. They took my ideas seriously while bringing their own expertise and creative suggestions. I always felt valued as a person, not just another client. I've spent years building a practice that reflects my values, so I really appreciate people who take pride in their work, and I see that in Amir and his team.
I'm so proud of what we've created together and look forward to continuing to work with Canada Create as my practice grows. If you're considering a new website, a brand refresh or a stronger online presence, I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Amir, thank you for your guidance, dedication and care. And thank you to the whole Canada Create team for turning my vision into something so beautiful. A five-star experience!

React Native app development questions
What is React Native?
React Native is an open-source framework for building iOS and Android apps with React and JavaScript or TypeScript. It uses native-backed components and can integrate native code. Platform-specific design, accessibility and testing still matter.
Is React Native good for a business app?
It can suit ordering, booking, account, marketplace, field and membership apps. Graphics-heavy or hardware-intensive work needs profiling and SDK assessment; native modules, specialized engines or a fully native implementation may be appropriate.
React Native or Flutter?
React Native may fit an existing React team and shared web logic. Flutter offers a Dart-based widget system for custom interfaces and multiple targets. Both need platform-specific engineering and testing. We compare your features, dependencies, maintainer skills and total cost in the proposal.
Does a React Native app perform like a native app?
React Native can support responsive business apps, but framework choice alone does not establish performance. We profile release builds on representative devices, assess startup, interactions and intensive workloads, and use native modules or architectural changes where needed.
How much does React Native app development cost?
Cost depends on screens, roles, integrations, native modules, offline synchronization, backend work and testing. We provide a custom-scoped proposal after discovery. Shared code can reduce duplicated work, while platform-specific implementation and maintenance still need a budget.
How long does a React Native app take to build?
Discovery establishes milestones around the agreed features, integrations, native modules and test coverage. Backend readiness and client reviews affect the schedule, and Apple and Google control store review timing.
Can we share code with our web app?
Often, yes. Compatible business logic, API clients and design tokens can be reused, and web and mobile can share a backend. Web UI components and browser-specific dependencies may need separate implementations. We assess the existing architecture first.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
Project-account authority is confirmed against provider rules and the agreement. After full and final payment, finalized custom deliverables transfer subject to the Agreement, required Canada Create™ credit and our Terms of Service. Our pre-existing tools remain ours and are licensed for use as embedded in the deliverables; third-party and open-source components retain their licence terms. Source files and handover access are provided on final payment as the Agreement specifies.
How are updates shipped?
A configured update service can deliver JavaScript and asset changes compatible with the installed native runtime where platform rules permit. Changes to native code, native dependencies or native permission configuration require a new binary and the applicable store-release process. Runtime compatibility alone does not establish store-policy permission. Policy-sensitive functionality is assessed for required review. The release plan includes testing, rollout and recovery.
