If you already know React, then React Native is a great way to build mobile apps for iOS and Android. Of course, web and mobile apps are very different to build — but this course serves as your guide.

In this course, we’ll build a mobile app from start to release with React Native for both iOS and Android. Prior React experience is required, but you don’t have to know anything about mobile development to participate.

Throughout the course, we’ll be building a “Restaurant Review” app. We’ll use all the standard mobile UI elements like text, images, form inputs, buttons, scroll views, and icons, and we’ll show several navigation techniques like push, modal, and tabs. The app will make HTTP API calls to a server and will store data on the device with AsyncStorage. Finally, we’ll specify a custom app icon and splash screen, deploy the app to a physical device, and prepare the app for release to the App Store and Play Store or for ad-hoc release.

Build a React Native Application for iOS and Android from Start to Finish

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

React makes it intuitive to build real-world web application. But in reality, you need to use a host of other services to get the app in front of real users. 

This course walks you through setup and implementation to get your cloud-based application up and running. 

You’ll learn to set up:
* a new project in AWS Amplify configured to your React app
* user authentication with Amazon Cognito 
* managed GraphQL with AWS AppSync
* image storage and retrieval with Amazon S3
* text translation via Lambda functions
* and finally, deployment of your application on AWS using Amazon S3

You’ll finish the course ready to quickly and easily deploy your serverless React application, so users can start using and enjoying it right away.

React Navigation makes the easy things easy and the hard things possible. This course will help you understand how to customize and use React Navigation for more complex navigation patterns.

You'll learn different ways to display content within the navigators, which demonstrates the built-in customizations within React Navigation. As well as learn how to interact with different UI components within React navigation, which will help you structure your application. 

Building off this, you'll learn how you can customize the default navigator behavior to provide a custom look and feel to your React Navigation application

To succeed in this course, you’ll want a basic understanding of the React Navigation API and how to use the default navigators.

Note: React Navigation has been updated to v2. This course was recorded on v1.x and the lesson code has been updated to reflect v2. The principles and patterns taught in the videos remain valid.

React Navigation for Native Mobile Applications

React Native Video is a community supported video element for React Native. It allows for remote loading of videos and also works with the React Native asset management system to load videos. Having a flexible video component is essential to developing and enhancing your application.
Like many React Native elements, the video element is very basic and doesn't ship with anything besides a flexible API. This allows you to develop the exact layout, controls, and custom overlays to match your application.

In this course we'll take a look at a basic setup. Then explore the different ways we can load and show videos. We'll show how to use a few of the custom callbacks to overlay errors and buffering elements. Because there are no controls shipped with `react-native-video` we'll show how to write custom video controls and animate them when the video has not been interacted with.

Finally we'll cover a few common paradigms found in the wild. Including repeating background cover videos, auto-playing videos when they scroll onto the screen and auto-stopping them when they are scrolled away from.

Fundamentals of React Native Video

In this course we'll explore how to create many popular animated concepts in applications across web and mobile applications. We'll look at both simple, complex, and subtle interactions that you can use to enhance your React Native application.


This course should empower you to look at an animation in an application, break down the effect, and rebuild it in your own application.


The ultimate goal is to show how using the basic Animated calls we can build out effective and complex animations that take your application to the next level.

Real World React Native Animations

In this course we’ll explore getting started with a basic React Native application on both iOS and Android. We’ll learn about using React Native components, how to build custom components, how to layout an application using Flexbox, and how to style components.


We’ll also focus on how to use state to control components, how to persist information across application reloads with AsyncStorage, and how to inline edit in a ListView.

The ultimate goal is to gain an understanding of how to get started building simple React Native applications.

Build a React Native Todo Application

In this course we will learn and demonstrate the basic concepts of the React Native Animated API. We'll use Animated calls like `timing` and `spring` to animate style properties, and learn how to combine animations to create more complex effects. We'll learn about more advanced interactions like animations with touch events, interpolation, and flip animations. The ultimate goal is to gain an understanding of how to animate React Native Views, how you can apply them to many different types of styles, and how to enhance the experience in your application.

Animate React Native UI Elements

If you're a web developer who has been itching to get into native development, now is your chance. In this series we'll be talking all about React Native. React Native allows you to build native iOS and Android applications in JavaScript and React.js. 

Regardless of your experience with React, or even with iOS development, my hope is that this series will be beneficial to everyone who is starting out with React Native. We'll jump straight into developing with React Native by looking first at the ecosystem of building React Native apps - including  Xcode, the iPhone simulator, live reload, debugging, and more. 

Once we get our ecosystem set up and our hello world example running using ES5, we'll jump straight into building a fully functioning iPhone app which utilizes many of the best parts of developing with React Native all while covering React.js and refactor to ES6 along the way.

React Native Fundamentals

How to create buttons in React Native depending on the level of desired customisability: the quick and simple Button, a more customisable Touchable, and the most customisable Pressable.

Button component is useful for quick prototyping.

TouchableOpacity is the most common way of creating buttons and other touchable areas, and is suitable for most use cases.

Pressable gives you the most control over the look and feel of your button, including customising the pressed state and text, as well as handling long presses separately from regular presses.

Creating Buttons in React Native with Three Levels of Customization

In this lesson we'll dive into using some clever offset techniques to make a button that appears to be 3D. We'll add in some animations to control those offsets so that when our button is pressed/released the button animates in and out while playing an airhorn sound.

In this video, we'll learn how to deploy an existing React Native application with user authentication powered by AWS Amplify and a navigation flow built around the authentication state using React Navigation.

Deploying Existing AWS Amplify Projects using the Amplify CLI

In this video we learn how to get started in a new React Native project using TypeScript, create types, run, & refresh the application.

Native apps build cross platform apps for both iOS and Android. My talk will be interesting for those who are venturing into this mobile space either from the web development background, or other mobile development experience like native development. The talk will help them see an overview of all the options they have to build scalable React Native apps. I have given React Native talks at several conferences and have been involved actively in the RN community. I have also authored the course React Native : The Big Picture on Pluralsight. I have been building RN apps for the last 4 years, and quite interested and involved in the React Native space.

In this video you will learn how to clone an AWS Amplify back end into a React Native project and test it out using Authentication and the AWS Amplify React Native UI Component library.

We will start by walking through the steps to clone the back end into the React Native app using the Amplify CLI. Then we will go into the React Native project and add code to enable an authentication flow. From there, we will test it out by signing up and signing in as a new user.

Sharing an AWS Amplify back end project across multiple clients

In this lesson, we'll get up and running with React Native while installing the extension for MacOS. For current instructions, head over to the React Native for MacOS documentation site, which will point you in the direction of the latest version: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/rnm-getting-started.

To run your new Mac application, run `npx react-native run-macos`. The first time you run this, it will take quite a while because project dependencies are being installed, but subsequent runs will go much quicker.

You'll learn how create a button using the built-in Button component, handle the onPress event, disabled state, and button colour. While doing so we will explore the TypeScript ButtonProps interface that defines the options available to you.

The Button component is built into React Native, and is the quickest way to add interaction to your application as it can handle both the button text, and the onPress event in one component.

The downside of the Button component is that it's not very configurable: other than setting the text colour and disabled state, you won't be able to customise much else when it comes to the look and feel of the button.

Good to use for prototyping, and building quick UIs.

Create a button in React Native using Text and TouchableOpacity, and customise the look and feel of your button using the style prop and activeOpacity.

Using TouchableOpacity is of the most commonly used ways of building buttons in React Native. It is much more versatile than the built in Button component: you can wrap anything (an Image, View, Text etc) in a TouchableOpacity, to make it into a button, and add any styles for both the button container as well as the children to customise them.



Create a Button in React Native Using TouchableOpacity

Create a button in React Native using Text and Pressable, customise the look and feel of your button and text depending on the pressed state, and handle long presses separately to regular presses.

The Pressable component, released in React Native 0.63 is a relatively recent addition to the library. It is by far the most versatile way of creating buttons. With Pressable, you get access to the pressed state which is a boolean value that indicated whether the button is currently being pressed or not. This value can be used to render a different button style or text depending on the pressed state. You can also pass in functions that get triggered when the button was pressed and released, and handle long presses separately from regular presses.
