App Development Roadmap

React Native is built on JavaScript. Strong foundations here save hours of debugging later.

• JavaScript ES6+ — arrow functions, destructuring, modules
• TypeScript basics — types, interfaces, generics
• Async/await and working with APIs
• npm / yarn — managing packages

React Native translates React components into real native UI elements.

• Expo setup and project structure
• Core components — View, Text, Image, ScrollView
• StyleSheet and Flexbox for mobile layouts
• Touchable elements and gesture handling
• Platform-specific code (iOS vs Android)

Mobile apps have screens, not pages. Navigation is a core part of the experience.

• Expo Router — file-based navigation
• Stack, Tab, and Drawer navigators
• Passing params between screens
• Zustand for global state management
• AsyncStorage for local persistence

Access the camera, location, notifications, and other device capabilities.

• Camera and image picker
• Location and maps integration
• Push notifications with Expo
• Biometric authentication
• Haptic feedback and animations with Reanimated

Connect your app to a real backend — authentication, data, and file storage.

• REST API integration with fetch / Axios
• Supabase or Firebase for auth and database
• Secure storage for tokens and secrets
• Offline support and optimistic updates
• Error handling and retry logic

Ship your app to real users on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

• Building production binaries with EAS Build
• App Store and Play Store requirements
• App icons, splash screens, and metadata
• Over-the-air updates with EAS Update
• App Store review process and tips
