AWS Amplify is a framework that lets you develop a web or mobile application quickly, by accessing the backend cloud services offered by AWS. In this article, we are going to learn how to use AWS Amplify in React Native by building a fully functional login and registration flow. This tutorial is going to take a look at one of the most important features of a mobile application – the authentication. You know the scenario. You need to store some amount of user information (credentials) for them to get back and re-use the application rather than creating a new account. Please make sure to have an AWS account before you begin this tutorial. If you don’t, please sign up for one.

Video compression is one of the easiest ways to reduce upload time, storage cost, and feed latency in a React Native app. It matters for social networks, chat apps, marketplace listings, short video apps, fitness apps, and any product that lets users upload media from the camera roll.

Firebase Storage is commonly used in React Native apps for profile photos, posts, chat attachments, marketplace listings, restaurant images, and short videos. The upload code is simple, but production readiness depends on rules, file paths, billing, metadata, and cleanup.

In today’s article we will build a React Native Music Player, to showcase how easy it is to build a music app in React Native, that is optimized for both native iOS and Android. The project we are going to build will look and behave similar to the Spotify player, that all of us are familiar with. The main goal is to have a basic app with two screens: one with a list of predefined songs and another one with the actual music player.

React Native WebView lets a native app display trusted web content inside a screen. It is useful for checkout, help centers, terms, OAuth pages, and embedded dashboards, but it needs clear security boundaries and loading states.

Maps are a core part of many React Native apps: taxi booking, food delivery, real estate listings, store locators, local marketplaces, travel apps, fitness tracking, and social discovery all need some form of map display.

Device-to-device notifications are useful when one user's action should notify another user. Common examples include:

React Native tooling has changed. Older lists often recommended Flipper, Nuclide, standalone React Native Debugger, or remote Chrome debugging as the default workflow. Modern React Native apps should start with React Native DevTools, Metro, and the native tools that ship with Xcode and Android Studio.

Offline-first React Native apps need deliberate data design. Lightweight preferences can use AsyncStorage, but serious offline workflows need structured local data, queued writes, sync conflict handling, retries, and visible user states.

Dark mode in React Native should start with system appearance APIs and a real theme model. This guide now focuses on useColorScheme, Appearance, app-level overrides, design tokens, and production checks across native and JavaScript surfaces.

In this tutorial, we are going to give a quick introduction to React Native hooks. Hooks in React are available since the version 16.7.0-alpha. These functions allow us to use React state and a component’s lifecycle methods in a functional component. If you are familiar with React, you know that the functional component has been called as a functional stateless component. Not any more.

The app icon is one of the first production assets you should replace before submitting a React Native app to the Apple App Store or Google Play. It appears on the home screen, app stores, settings screens, notifications, search, and device launchers.

This guide explains how to replace icons in a React Native app with native iOS and Android projects.
