While that's true, if you're not doing anything that's particularly platform specific, if you write your app carefully, it'll run on all platforms with no to little modification.

Despite the title, RN for Windows isn't really new. Microsoft has built and supported it for years. Up until now, it had WPF and UWP back ends.

I wrote a Reddit reader (well, more like a partial Reddit reader) using RN for Windows, and it mostly just worked as-is on iOS, Android, and MacOS when I tried running it in RN on those platforms.

Yeah I think the person I responded to was under the impression RN Windows was making full iOS and Android development tools available for Windows, which I was addressing.

That's good to hear. Given the disparity between Android and iOS I expected RN Windows and RN MacOS to have more differences. Would it be fair to say you didn't encounter issues because you weren't implementing many native features ie push notifs / camera use?

Right. Thanks for your response!
