Hire React Native developers for one codebase, two app stores.
Cross-platform mobile engineers who ship native-feeling iOS and Android apps from a single React Native codebase — faster and at lower cost than two native teams.
Overview
Why hire react native developers from Shyftr
A React Native developer builds mobile apps that run on both iOS and Android from one shared JavaScript/TypeScript codebase — giving you native performance and feel without paying for two separate native teams.
Shyftr's React Native engineers handle the full mobile lifecycle: architecture, native module bridging, offline support, push notifications, payments, and App Store / Play Store deployment. Hire them to:
- Ship a cross-platform MVP in weeks, then scale it
- Add native features (camera, maps, Bluetooth, biometrics) via native modules
- Migrate or unify separate iOS and Android codebases into React Native
- Fix performance, crash rates, and store-rejection issues

What they solve
Problems our React Native developers fix
Challenge 01
Maintaining separate iOS and Android teams is expensive.
Our Approach
One React Native codebase, one team — typically 30–40% less cost and a single roadmap to manage.
Challenge 02
Our app feels janky and crashes on older phones.
Our Approach
Performance profiling, Hermes engine tuning, and crash monitoring to deliver a smooth 60fps experience.
Challenge 03
We keep getting rejected from the App Store.
Our Approach
Engineers who know Apple and Google review guidelines and manage submission, signing, and store assets.
Challenge 04
We need a native feature React Native 'can't do'.
Our Approach
Custom native module bridging in Swift/Kotlin so you get any device capability without leaving React Native.
