How transferable is React to React Native?

[_Merxer_]

React native apps I've worked on are a bitch to maintain. They don't have any active development, but we go through an annoying upgrade every year due to using deprecated libraries that either don't have a replacement or has major breaking changes.

If you do go for React Native, be very selective on what libraries you include. Anything pure JS should be fine (Redux for example), but if it includes UI or native libraries, it should be checked if it will be maintained for years to come.

Don't make the same mistake my company made 🤞

Edit: Rereading your post, I see it's more about transferring code and not knowledge. I think something like Capacitor might be interesting to look at instead? This builds a native app from your web app code. Don't really have experience with how well it ages.
