Finding the right React Developer for your cross-platform app development project is half the battle won. After all, an app is only as good as the team working on it.
Why build Apps with React?
Cross-platform development is a great solution when it comes to cost, long-term code maintenance, and scalability. However, at times, it falls short on desired level of polishing and performance.
React Native takes a unique approach to this problem and rather than trying to tackle everything at once, it just focuses on one crucial component of app development, “the presentation layer.” Unlike other hybrid development tools like Ionic or XaMarin, it does not try to wrap a web application into a native shell. Instead, it allows building a true native app using a set of user-facing interface components and libraries. The code is written using JavaScript but once compiled, it renders the native equivalent of the respective UI elements and views. This approach drastically simplifies the UI building and proves to be very cost and effort efficient in the long term. Moreover, the end app is truly native instead of a web app. There are practically no compromises on performance and speed that makes React Native stand out from other hybrid app development frameworks.

The OCDLab Process
From idea to launch
The very first phase where we do client briefs to understand business goals, target audience and the overall vision for the product. This is followed by a high level quote and spec definition.
The Define Step usually consists of lots of research, sketching, and preliminary concepts. We prepare a Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document, followed by commercial offer and agreement.
Before we jump on development ship, there are graphics and designs. This is where the fun begins; we refine some, combine some others, and freeze on the best of the best.
And here we are in the war room, working on what some of our team members live for.. c o d i n g. The development step is usually tied up with a release plan so that we can collect feedback and revise as we go.
We hand over the code and documentation, put launch plans in motion and start talking about version 2.0
