How to build a custom share sheet in react native - react-native

I am trying build a custom sharesheet in react-native like how spotify or locket does it (I assume this is a custom sharesheet). I was wondering how you can build a custom one where I only show iMessage and instagram and change the styles. I noticed the react-native-share-sheet and the Share from react native doesn't let you customize it so I was wondering if this is possible to build in react-native?
Also building the "share sheet" from scratch would not work since there is no way to pop up the iMessage. (Linking("sms://) opens a new app)
Exmaple for spotify:
Example for locket:
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Is there a way to turn an app into a website in React Native?

I built an application in React, is there a way that the same code will be used for a website?
I know Instagram is built on React and it also has a website, I wonder maybe you should add some link or something that it will open for me as a website?
Or maybe there is no such way and I have to build a website separately?
First off all, If you have written any code which is related to native functionality, then it can be challenging.
If you have only worked with views, images, and some of the basic functionality.
It can be done with react-native-web you can easily migrate your project to react-native-web.
If you project is created with expo they already provide react-native-web support.
Option 2: If you have some of the code you want to share and some is that you don't want to share or can't share.
You can use renderProp or customHooks pattern to reuse your logical code and seperate your view for react-native and react js apps.
If you want to reuse your views too, you can do those with primitives.
you can use styled-component primitives for that.

React native turn by turn navigation

we working with expo and using mapview, however, there are many restrictions in react native maps, as we are planning to implement turn by turn navigation. Integrating Mapbox would have been the best option, however we do not think it’s best to eject the project as expo doesn’t still support Mapbox. Although, I came across a package, react native maps navigation, I would like to know if anyone has been able to successfully implement it in their project and it functioned properly, and also know if there are any drawbacks that comes along with it. I am asking this because the author says “Please note that this module is usable but still under heavy development. Some properties and/or component names might change without notice.”
Kindly give your suggestions and advice. Thanks
Mapbox works very well in a react-native projects and recommend to use this service for your project but effectively, it don't works with expo so for me, you should eject your project to use it.
I paste here some packages I used for a GPS project (The last one is to get the current position of an user)
react-native-mapbox-gl/maps
mapbox-sdk
react-native-geolocation
Hope that could help you

codepush react native new package

I tried react native code push and it works flawlessly. Let's say I modify the text in my buttons to say something else, then with a single command, the update is sent to the users.
Now, lets say I am using a new npm library which requires some native code. Say react-native-image-picker (https://github.com/react-community/react-native-image-picker). Can code push handles this? I want the image picker functionality to be updated too in my users app. Thank you.
No - CodePush can only update JavaScript code and images.
CodePush does not update native code at all so any changes to native code require a full app build and deploy via the relevant app store or app distribution tool (e.g. HockeyApp).
Note: There are some limitations around images - full details here.

React Native Dynamically load modules/plugins?

As far as I've searched it appears to be impossible to load modules (=plugins/libraries?) dynamically (I'm very new to React Native..).
What I'd like to accomplish is to let the user of the app load additional functions as she/he desires.
Example:
A user wants to add a music plugin to the app.
Intuitively, I'd long for something like dynamic library loading. The user would fetch the library, it'll be loaded into the code and can then be executed. However, in React Native it seems like there are only modules that can be loaded?
Alternatively, I'd hope that auto-updating the app would allow to add modules "on-the-fly" ( https://github.com/aerofs/react-native-auto-updater or www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-hot-load ). But I fear that this is only for JS and data content?
The ability to dynamically add functionality to the app is an essential part of the app. I have no previous experience worth mentioning in mobile app development.
Question: Is it possible to dynamically add functionality (also native in nature) to React Native apps?
If not, would there be a workaround?
EDIT: I have found the following repository on github: https://github.com/yusefnapora/react-dynamic-linking-example .
Unfortunately, without any description. I have no idea about Objective-C, but the repo name sounds promising. Anybody knows what its purpose is?
