Codebold IT Solutions · React Native Development
One codebase for iOS and Android is the pitch, but it only pays off if you know where to draw the line between shared and platform-specific code. We share business logic and most UI through React Native, then drop into native modules for the things that genuinely need it — camera, push notifications, platform-specific animations — so the app feels native on both platforms.
— What you get
Scroll →
01
Business logic and most UI shared across iOS and Android — but we draw the line at native modules for what genuinely needs it, not everything.
02
Camera, push notifications, platform-specific animations — dropped into real native code so the app feels native, not like a compromise on either platform.
03
Bridge traffic and re-renders profiled on real devices, not just the simulator, so the app stays smooth once real data and real users show up.
04
iOS and Android ship together from one codebase, instead of two native teams drifting out of sync feature by feature.
05
Typed components and typed navigation, catching a wrong prop or a missing screen param before it ships as a crash.
06
Built alongside the backend it talks to — Node.js or Python — so the app and the API are designed together, not bolted together after the fact.
— How one codebase runs natively on two platforms
01
01
Business logic and most UI components are written once in JavaScript or TypeScript and shared across both iOS and Android — one codebase driving two apps.
02
React Native's bridge connects that shared JavaScript to native modules for things the platform itself controls — camera, storage, sensors — translating calls between the two worlds.
03
Where a feature genuinely needs true native behavior — a platform-specific animation, a deep OS integration — platform-specific modules handle it directly instead of forcing a compromise.
04
The app compiles to a real native binary for each platform — an actual iOS app and an actual Android app, not a website wrapped in a browser shell pretending to be one.
— Why Codebold
Building software since 2013.
Most UI and logic shared through React Native, native modules only where a feature genuinely needs platform-specific behavior — not a rule applied blindly either way.
Bridge traffic and re-renders checked against actual hardware, because performance that looks fine in a simulator can fall apart on a real mid-range phone.
Fixes, updates, and the next feature are part of the relationship — not a renegotiation every time something needs to change.
— Tech depth
— Good questions
It should, if the shared/native line is drawn correctly. Most screens can share code cleanly; the places that need to feel unmistakably iOS or Android get dedicated native modules instead of a compromise.
React Native if your team already knows React or you want to share code with a React web app. Flutter if you want pixel-identical UI across platforms and don't need that overlap. We'll recommend based on your actual team and product.
Yes — we start by understanding the current architecture and dependency versions before touching anything, then fix what's actually slowing the app down.
Yes — the repository, the code, and everything in it are yours from day one.
We stay on. Fixes, updates, and the next feature are part of the relationship, not a separate negotiation.
Depends on scope — a focused MVP can launch in a couple of months. You'll get a clear timeline after a discovery call.
