Mobile app developers use React Native to build cross-platform apps that work on both iOS and Android from a single codebase. With React Native, they write apps using JavaScript and React, which streamlines development and reduces time and costs. It allows developers to use native components, ensuring the app performs like a fully native application while offering a flexible, faster development process.

Mobile app developers use JavaScript to create dynamic, interactive apps, often through frameworks like React Native or Ionic. JavaScript enables developers to write code that works across multiple platforms, such as iOS and Android, from a single codebase. It allows developers to handle user interactions, control app functionality, and communicate with backend services, making it a versatile tool for building both the front-end and back-end of mobile applications.

Mobile app developers use React to build user interfaces (UIs) for web-based mobile apps, focusing on creating reusable components that efficiently manage data and UI state. While React is primarily for web development, when combined with frameworks like React Native, developers can use React to build mobile apps that run on both iOS and Android. React's component-based architecture allows for faster development, easy updates, and maintenance by breaking the app into modular, reusable pieces.
