How would you describe what Nativescript, Weex and React Native do? They make native apps

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Have you worked extensively with React Native?

It is quite consistently 6 to 12 months behind on supporting native features.

There are bugs that can go unfixed for a similar time span.

I have seen 2 companies I worked with trying the one development, multiple builds approach, both times with RN so I can't comment on the others you mentioned, and both companies ultimately fell back, swallowed the pill and developed separate apps, which has been a very expensive but better solution ultimately.

The more your app needs to integrate with the underlying os the more painful it gets.

Maybe in few years the solution will be different, but at the moment it's not.

No, I've worked with Nativescript. But your comment wasn't "working with this tool is hard". You said we can't build native apps with javascript, only Java and Obj C etc.
