React Native apps and websites already use platform UI components, of course, but a lot of what makes an app or a website look and feel truly at home in its native environment is up to how the developer uses their toolbox. Let’s learn how to employ platform-appropriate components, styles, UX, navigation patterns, and more to create cross-platform apps that nonetheless feel cohesive within Android, iOS and Web.

React Native is increasingly supporting the web platform. From libraries to routing patterns, everything is moving toward a more unified approach to creating user interfaces for both web and mobile at the same time. But what is the real cost of trying to achieve this, and is it the right direction overall?

I'll cover typical smelling Antipatterns of React that I've encountered refactoring code in many projects and offer easy-to-use patterns that you can start using today.

In today’s React Native development landscape, we are no longer building for just mobile. We have the capability to develop for web, automotive, VR and TV. While each platform presents unique challenges developing for the fragmented landscape of TV experiences, in particular, requires balancing consistent app performance across platforms & devices while optimizing for each one’s specific requirements.

So, by sharing our lessons learnt from how to build performant apps for TV, we are essentially sharing React Native performance optimization techniques and best practices for creating scalable, accessible, high-performing apps across multiple operating systems, platforms, and devices.

In this talk, we will explore the intricacies of TV development and how it can help you approach building for a range of different form factors & devices. We will then explore how to structure a scalable codebase and look into strategies for efficient code sharing & feature development. Additionally, we will cover React Native performance optimization techniques as well as debunk how the new React Native architecture impacts performance.
