I have developed one mobile application in react native and its working in android and ios both.
Now I was thinking to make a web application for that. Someone suggested about PWA "Progressive Web Apps". Is possible to make react native app into PWA . Or do I have to start from scratch?
Is native bridging availabe in PWA? Please suggest me the correct path. Is it possible to make react native and pwa combine?

I Am new to react and React native but can any one let me know that i can develop
website, App (Android, IOS) from same platform (REACT NATIVE)
I Am asking here because on official site of React Native
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/
they have shown the picture of Mobile, i-pad, And Desktop View as well
so may be there is chance we can develop it in all platform
Thanks in Advance
Web based apps (that load on site pages, in browser) can be built with React JS:
https://reactjs.org
React Native is an entire platform allowing you to build native, cross-platform mobile apps, and React.js is a JavaScript library you use for constructing a high performing UI layer.
React.js is the heart of React Native, and it embodies all React’s principles and syntax, so the learning curve is easy.
React-Native doesn’t use HTML & CSS to render the app, but provides alternative components that work in a similar way.
I have a question: I'm going to develop an AR app with viro for react native.
Will I be able to publish the project without the Viro Media app that they're suggesting for development?
Of course, you can create an independent Viro app and build it either from Android Studio or by exploiting the React Native CLI, as it is described here.
Remember to use an ARCore supported device to access native modules and the AR functionalities.
I am trying to build an app in react native. The app was originally built in unity, but due to performance reasons. It was decided the app should be rebuilt in react native. The app currently has a web app also and I am wondering if there is a way when that the react native app can use some components from the web app.
I tried to google this problem, but I only find articles about using components between react native and react native web. I do not know what the web app was built with, but I am almost certain that it was not react native web.
What component are you trying to use?
Because if it's a pure unity I think there are some libraries who are not available on a mobile device, so you can't use it.
I have in mid some C++ libraries or third part one to use the sound.
I am new to React Native and I know that there are two ways to develop native applications using react native
1- react native init --> need to compile the native cod
==> Result is Native Application for Android "Android SDK required" and Native Application for IOS "Xcode required"
2- create react native app --> no need to compile the native code !!
as CRNA uses Expo_SDK to access native API, but :
Is the result app is really native! or Expo Sdk is like Cordova but used by React and if result native, Expo claims that the result is native!, have they cloned both Android Sdk and Xcode for IOS or how does it work ?!
Expo apps are React Native apps which contain the Expo SDK. The SDK is a native-and-JS library which provides access to the device’s system functionality (things like the camera, contacts, local storage, and other hardware). That means you don’t need to use Xcode or Android Studio, or write any native code, and it also makes your pure-JS project very portable because it can run in any native environment containing the Expo SDK.
Expo also provides UI components to handle a variety of use-cases that almost all apps will cover but are not baked into React Native core, e.g. icons, blur views, and more.
Finally, the Expo SDK provides access to services which typically are a pain to manage but are required by almost every app. Most popular among these: Expo can manage your Assets for you, it can take care of Push Notifications for you, and it can build native binaries which are ready to deploy to the app store.
You should take a look at the Expo doc
Expo app is as native as React native. They do the following things so you don't need to setup Android / iOS SDK locally.
provide Expo App on Android/iOS
so you can build the js code and use Expo App to debug during the development.
provide build server
once you run expo build command, expo will upload the compiled js code and build Android/iOS file on their server. You can download the built file from their server.
You can eject from the Expo, setup Android / iOS SDK locally, and build the app as normal React Native app
Expo (and react-native) apps use native (android and ios) ui components to render the apps ui, like any native android or ios app would. Therefore they can be considered as native apps.
However your app logic is executed within a javascript thread an will communicate with the native threads (through the react-native bridge) to modify the native ui components. Since the bridge is completely asynchronous this should not affect the native ui performance of your application. If you want to understand the communication between js and native code it may be a good start to read this guide.
2- create react native app --> no need to compile the native code !!
With expo there is no need to compile native code, as expo already includes a "ready to use build" of react-native along with several other common react-native libraries. In an expo app this will be used together with your javascript bundle which than communicates through the react-native bridge with the already present native part.
They are basically just abusing the fact that you can inject different javascript bundles into a prebuilt react-native app. (as long as you are using only accessing a subset of the native functionality of that prebuilt app)
Note that Appcenters codepush uses the same functionality and their setup integration actually delivers a nice example how different javascript bundles can be loaded without touching the native part:
in ios AppDelegate.m this line is changed:
original react-native js-bundle loading which always resolves a static bundle
return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"main" withExtension:#"jsbundle"];
js-bundle loading with codepush which can resolve to different js-bunldes
return [CodePush bundleURL];

We are planning to develop a web application and use react native framework.
We are bundle all the files inside a folder and start httpster to run the web-application.
Is that is the only way to run react native web apps or any other way?
for example, tomcat is a web app server and can we use the same and play framework has its own server and can be just run react files on play
In pre-requisites it says we just need the react js libraries.
Please let me know in detail.
Thanks
React Native is used for native mobile development.
For a webapp you can just use regular react.
