React Native is one such popular framework to develop cross-platform apps. It helps to develop apps supported by both iOS and Android platforms. Even though it is faster and easy to develop iOS and Android apps using React Native, there are certain differences in the development of apps for both platforms. Below are some of the differences between the iOS and Android app development using React Native.

Even though React Native uses a single JavaScript codebase for iOS and Android platforms, the design guidelines for iOS and Android apps are different. For example, there are differences in the icons and the navigation patterns of iOS and Android apps. The developers have to keep that in mind during the app development process and make sure that they build the app as per the specific design guidelines followed by each platform.

Another difference is the style elements added using React Native look different in iOS and Android apps. Each platform has specific styles that the developers need to remember while working on the development of these apps. Moreover, in react native app development, the developers use a different set of tools for developing iOS and Android apps. One another major difference is the need to link libraries manually to the iOS and Android platforms. To do that, the developer needs to know the coding of iOS and Android.
