In the dynamic realm of software development, successful industry leaders share a common proficiency in four pivotal metrics: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Time to Restore Service, and Change Failure Rate. Yet, achieving high performance in these areas within the mobile world presents unique challenges. This talk delves into the depth of best practices and innovative technologies within React Native and mobile DevOps ecosystems, all aimed at our ultimate goal: the continuous delivery of value to our users.

Testing your React Native, Capacitor, or other cross-platform apps on mobile devices is a critical but complex step of deployment. If you’re used to web testing, navigating the options for iOS and Android can be daunting. This session will cover virtual & real device options, native build types for test deployments, how to deliver apps to testers, and even how to run automated tests against real devices.

Quick, what is the quickest way to bring your product to the app stores? In today's landscape, trying to get into the app store can mean spending weeks deciding what tool to use and then rewriting your entire app. But the web, and mainly Capacitor, can simplify that. Take your existing web app, add Capacitor to the mix, and you have a native app that's ready for the stores! Let's see what's possible Capacitor and why it can help you ship faster.

It's easier than ever to use JavaScript to build native mobile applications. But for web developers building in the mobile ecosystem for the first time, deploying cross-platform apps built with tools like Capacitor or React Native can be complex. Learn about the mobile-specific deployment considerations through the lens of a web developer, including the key differences between mobile and web, how to develop a deployment strategy, and how to evaluate tooling options.

It’s important to have a frictionless, secure, and performant authentication system for any app, be it web or mobile. In this lightning talk, Itai Hanski covers the importance of authentication and how the Descope team used PKCE to communicate between their React web app and native mobile SDKs.

We want to learn about mobile accessibility to build an accessible mobile app, but where do we start? What does making an app accessible mean? What should we developers do? We will answer that by deep diving into the fundamentals of accessibility and assistive technologies.

The most common misconceptions about accessibility are that it is time-consuming or can be easily left as the last thing to be added. But, of course, this is not the case. We’ll look at how easy and quick adopting accessibility as a First-Class Citizen and, on the contrary, how difficult and time-consuming it is to add accessibility to an existing project.

The React Native new architecture has been "coming next year!" since 2019 - but, this time, it’s actually here! So… what now? What do we actually need to do, to benefit from this all new shiny tech? In this talk, I want to provide some insights and in-depth analysis of the current state of the migration path to the new architecture, to help you and your team evaluate and estimate when and how and how long it will take you to get to the next level!

Using Capacitor, you can easily create native mobile iOS and Android applications using all of the React web tools you know and love. But how do we access the native APIs? With the @capacitor-community/react-hooks package, we can quickly and easily access native device APIs, like Camera, Filesystem, and Geolocation, using React Hooks!

At the end of 2021, we successfully rolled out the New React Native Architecture in the Facebook app.Now, it’s time to empower every React Native developer on the globe to use the New React Native Architecture, both the new Fabric renderer and the new TurboModule system.But migrating an entire ecosystem to a New Architecture is no easy task.To support the whole community in this endeavor, we lined up a set of tools and materials that will help both app and library developers to join us in this journey.In the talk, we will present how the New React Native Architecture looks in the OSS space. We will discuss the impact this will have on developing React Native projects. Lastly, we will cover what we learned from the React Native New Architecture migration at Meta, and how you can tackle your migration in your organization.

Usually creating web and mobile apps require different tech stacks, and it is pretty hard to share code. This talk will show how I added a React web app and a React Native mobile app in the same monorepo using Nx, and how I optimized codeshare between react web app and react native mobile app.

Building web and mobile apps with GraphQL should be simple. With Nhost, developers build web and mobile apps with automatically generated GraphQL APIs. In this talk, we'll show you how this is ideal for developers who want to boost productivity without worrying about infrastructure.

App development is hard, React and Expo make it easy!It's never been simpler to build and deploy powerful mobile apps with incredible features to both Android and iOS users all over the world.We’ll discuss building and deploying mobile apps seamlessly from the cloud using EAS, creating powerful dev clients (like browsers but for mobile app development) for testing your app, pushing OTA updates instantly to users, and much more — no native experience required!

It has never been easier for React developers to build native iOS and Android apps. In this talk, we'll see how quickly you can ship your app with Expo open source tools, Expo Application Services (EAS), and React Native. We'll also discuss some of the recent improvements we've made and what's coming up next.

I'm going to showcase the React Native architecture we use in our new mobile app at Product Hunt. What we learned, among the way. How we moved what we know from web to mobile. Topics will be designing reusable React components, GraphQL, routing in the app, application lifecycle, keyboard controls, toast messages, and others.
