I need to build a mobile application that supports Android and iOS platforms with 2 options in hand
- React-Native
- Hybrid app using Ionic
I've clear knowledge and enough experience to build a web-app using React and publish it live. But when coming to Mobile platform, in my basic research I got the above 2 options suitable.
But challenges and observations (which could also be wrong) are:
- If I choose React-Native I need to build the common components in React-Native (similar to React) but again write/integrate Native features for respective Android & iOS separately. Also I should install Android Studio and iOS app development setup to build and test it.
- If I choose, I'll build it using latest ionic-react, I'll be running the whole app inside a web-view - which is okay even if it performs a bit slower. But for this also, I need to have Android Studio and iOS app development setup installed to build and run using Cordova or capacitor.
Question 1: Are my above observations correct? If not please correct me.
Question 2: Is there a way that I can build the mobile application (with Android of 1st priority) using ionic-React or React-Native without installing Android studio?
Thanks
