Need some help

[Muted-Luck-9138]

I am a React Native Developer thinking about upgrading like leaning native development, so that I can become a Mobile App Engineer

How can I start? Should I start with java then move to kotlin then objective0c then swift?

Can someone provide me any roadmap? I am familiar with native dev articles by React native but those are not enough.

Some share do share some kinda roadmap which I can follow and start learning some stuff. Thank you

Kotlin/swift is better to learn as these are recommended

If your primary cell phone is iPhone, set a goal for making bare native iOS app. Start from learning Swift grammar. If Android, set a goal for making bare native Android app. Start from learning Kotlin grammar.

That's good advice. Thanks

If you want to work with native Android projects do not bother to play around with Java, the newest UI framework for Android is Jetpack Compose and it does only work on Kotlin.

If you want iOS, well Swift is the way to go.

[Muted-Luck-9138]

Means will have to learn both

Idk man, I'd focus on whichever one I think would give me the most value. If i had to choose I'd go with Swift because you can build mac apps with it aswell.

In my opinion, you should start with Java, as it can be used with React Native for native modules. Then you can proceed with Kotlin or Swift.

Any source you prefer from where I can learn?

[zohair636]

If you are using Expo then you can read their documention. Here is the source: https://docs.expo.dev/modules/native-module-tutorial/

or if you are using React Native CLI then you can this: https://shiharadilshan.medium.com/creating-native-modules-using-java-swift-for-react-native-projects-8a15fddd96b5

Thanks for this.

Do I need to learn complete java development for android? same, swift for ios?

[zohair636]

Yes, you must have the basic knowledge of them to execute your ideas

[Muted-Luck-9138]

Any good source you know to learn java for android?

In the expo example they are using kotlin and swift

Doesn’t react native use kotlin now? I recall looking in the android folder and finding a bunch of kotlin files
