React Native is pretty awesome - especially if you've got a web version of your app. At work, we use React Native for our iOS application - and are able to share pretty much all the store & action creators logic for our web (and desktop) app. It's been pretty huge as all our iOS engineer (we only have one!) really has to do is do the view specific stuff for iOS, the rest being shared with the web/desktop version. Also, our engineers that work on the web application can contribute to the iOS app with ease too.

Our general product iteration strategy involves building it on the web version and then porting it to iOS fairly quickly. For a chat application, our stores handle a lot of data, so it's been awesome to have that code shared.

React Native's bridge is also alright. We bridge with Component Kit for the chat messages view & WebRTC for the voice side of things fairly easy from JS.

Also, being able to update the bundle w/o doing an App Store update is pretty big too.

Here's the app if anyone wants to try it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/discord-chat-for-gamers/id98...
