I found Exponent, but it requires an iPhone. Can I do complete React native development on Windows 8?
Unfortunately not. You need XCode and Mac to build a react-native project.
As mentioned is not possible, but you can play, try to do some prototypes, and have fun with https://rnplay.org/
Android Development in React Native at Windows Platform is possible. See https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linux-windows-support.html

React native for windows emulator support both for android and ios Like mac
and help me to find my solution please
You can checkout this official documentation from Microsoft to run IOS simulator in Windows and follow the steps here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/tools/ios-simulator/
I am trying to create an app using React Native that runs on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. An advantage of being able to use React Native is that you can share code between platforms.
I am following the setup guides for React Native macOS and Windows, but in the guides, they guide you through creating a new app from scratch for each platform. As I want to use the same app, so I don't have to write the same code twice, I create the macOS app following the guide. Then, in this app, I use the command npx react-native-windows-init --overwrite from the Windows guide to initialise the Windows platform. But when I then go to run the macOS app using the command npx react-native run-macos, I get the error:
Cannot find module 'metro-config/src/defaults/exclusionList'
and
no bundle URL present
One thing I find strange about the setup guides is that for macOS it tells you to use React Native 0.63 and for Windows 0.66. I used 0.66 for both, maybe this is the problem. But if it is, and each platform requires different versions of React Native, how can I use the one app / codebase for both platforms? This goes against one of React Native's core premises:
Create platform-specific versions of components so a single codebase can share code across platforms.
Is it possible to create a single app for both desktop platforms like you would with iOS and Android, and if so, how?
Yes, you can. You will have to create a mono repo
Or you can use mono repo boilerplate. Here is a link to it

I am new in react-native. I want to build an android and iOS application by using react-native. I used the Windows 10 to build the react-native project and it is ok when I run the android app using Android SDK or real device but cannot on iOS devices. I have researched this problem and know that I need to use macOS to run the iOS apps. Is it possible to build iOS apps using any iOS simulator on Windows 10?
for exporting ios apps you must have a MAC system(X-code) or you can do it in windows with VMvare that have a virtual Mac system ,and in next step you must have a developer account then other steps are simple :)
The best way to develop in react native if you did not have access to MAC OSX environment is to use EXPO as it will ensured the app could run on android and iOS.
The second option would be using private cloud Mac like MacStadium.
I have a Windows-machine and would like to use React Native for developing cross-platform UWP (so no Expo) and iOS apps. I also have a MacBook that I would like to use as a build host, like you can do with Xamarin.
Can remote build and iOS simulation with XCode be done using React Native and if so, how?
You can use Jenkins to turn your Mac in a build server. If you need the simulator you could use a screen sharing program like VNC.
Does React Native have support for Windows Phone and BlackBerry? Perhaps Java Phones too (Jad and Jar). Thanks
Yes you can build react native apps for the Windows platform, including windows mobile phones and X-Box:
https://www.microsoft.com/developerblog/2016/05/26/creating-universal-windows-apps-with-react-native/
There doesn't appear to be any support for Blackberry, however.
And... I wouldn't recommend building any apps for the Windows platform, as it's basically dead: https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/9/16446280/microsoft-finally-admits-windows-phone-is-dead
There is a reNative project that aim to bring react native to wide variety of devices take a look at that
https://renative.org/
No. React Native supports Android and iOS.
You can try react native app built android.
APK can be installed on blackberry.
