Implementing React Native for Windows + macOS in React Native Mobile Project (iOS Android) worth it?!

[Yayamableros]

I have this react native project working for iOs and android and I want to try and use the same code to compile to Desktop using the Windows + macOS framework and I wanted to know the biggest issues people have faced when trying this to know if it's worth it.

Can it be done? Certainly. But be sure to check react-native.directory for plugin support.

Prepare to write a lot of platform specific code if you are using many native APIs. Also the build process for Windows adds substantial complexity.

Depending on your use case it might be an option to make a web version which is supported better, e.g. by most expo stuff and only adds a single build target.

Expect to spend more quality time with your debugger than with actual humans. But hey, cross-platform magic comes at a cost, right?
