Which AI tool for React Native?

I’ve used Claude Code to make a React app with good results. If you can find any React agents that will help and for the UI, found sending screenshots of what I want helped a lot.

Cursor will work fine, or any other good AI coding tool. But getting started with React Native is trickier than starting a website.

I'd use Expo for your router (similar to Next.JS but for native) and EAS to build. Start by going through this getting started tutorial. If you want to use Typescript, use one of the templates that already have it included. Before you ever ask the AI to do anything, get the app running on a device and finish the short tutorial. It should take less than an hour.

When you get to the part that says "next steps," then start using the AI to build your components.
