What a React Native Developer seat is
A React Native Developer seat gives you iOS and Android coverage from one developer, one codebase, and one subscription. Your developer builds performant mobile applications using React Native and Expo, handles device APIs (camera, push notifications, biometrics, GPS), and ships to both the App Store and Google Play. Cross-platform covers 95%+ of US mobile use cases. Two native apps, one team, half the cost.
Who this seat is for
- Startups who need iOS and Android coverage without hiring two separate native developers
- Web product teams adding a mobile app for the first time
- Companies with an existing React codebase who want to share logic and components across web and mobile
- Products where near-native performance is required but full native development isn't justified

Duties on your project
What this seat does under your Project Manager.
- Build cross-platform mobile UI components in React Native targeting iOS and Android from one codebase
- Integrate device APIs: camera, push notifications (FCM/APNs), biometric auth, GPS, and local storage
- Connect mobile app to backend REST or GraphQL APIs with secure token-based authentication
- Manage app state with Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or React Query depending on data complexity
- Write Detox or Jest-based tests for critical user flows and regression coverage
- Prepare and submit builds to the App Store and Google Play through EAS Build or Xcode/Android Studio
Example deliverables
- Cross-platform React Native app running on iOS and Android from a single codebase
- Backend API integration with authentication, data fetching, and offline caching
- Device capability integrations: push notifications, camera, biometrics, GPS as required
- App Store and Google Play submission with store listing assets and compliance checklist
- Test suite covering critical user journeys with Detox or Jest
When to choose a different seat
- Apps requiring hardware-level native modules not available in React Native (use native iOS/Android developers)
- High-performance 3D or real-time rendering use cases (use Unity/Unreal game developers)
- Backend API or server-side development (use Backend Developer seat)
How the subscription works
- Configure the React Native Developer seat and choose your package on Pricing.
- Share your user stories, design files (Figma), and backend API documentation with your PM.
- The developer sets up the Expo or bare React Native project scaffold with navigation and auth.
- Features are built screen by screen. TestFlight and internal Play Store tracks are used for your review.
- Baseline QC covers both iOS and Android devices before each release.
Compare models on subscription development team, then configure on Pricing.

React Native Developer FAQ
Does React Native cover both iOS and Android?
Yes. React Native compiles to native iOS (Swift-bridged) and Android (Kotlin-bridged) from a single JavaScript/TypeScript codebase. One developer covers both platforms.
How close to native performance is React Native?
For the vast majority of business and consumer apps — social feeds, dashboards, e-commerce, productivity tools — React Native performance is indistinguishable from native to end users. Heavy 3D rendering or low-latency hardware access are the exceptions.
Do we need separate Apple Developer and Google Play accounts?
Yes. An Apple Developer account ($99/year) and a Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time) are required for app distribution and store publishing.
Can React Native access native device features like Face ID or the camera?
Yes — biometric auth, camera, microphone, GPS, push notifications, and Bluetooth are all accessible through well-maintained React Native libraries. Expo simplifies the setup for most of these.
