What is the best approach for app development if time is your major priority?

Question

We want to develop app but my friend is a JavaScript developer and I am a Python developer. Which is the best approach for backend development along with database options. Is there any other option than Java/Kotlin for frontend or do we need to stick to it?

Answer 1

pankaj pokharkar React native is in beta 0.59.

I already mentioned some flexibilities that RN provides, where you cannot get it from Java/Kotlin, like cross platform dev, ease of development without Android studio..

What are flexibilities you are looking for and RN still cannot provide?

Answer 2

Answer 4

Since you know javascript, you should try out React Native, it's easily convert any js project to native apps, and it can build iOS and Android with the same codebase.

You can develop apps right away from https://snack.expo.io/. We even can code the app from our mobile phones with iOS and Android phone emulators, no installation of Android Studio and other tools needed. Codes are shareable between developers online.

Answer 5

Thanks Calvin for the snack link. Will check this out. Yes React native was the first option in our mind but it does not have a stable version and compared to android studio it does not have that flexibility .
