Overview
React Native gets a bad reputation from teams that hired generalist React developers and asked them to also build a mobile app. That's not what you want. A senior React Native developer thinks in terms of bridge cost, frame budget, and platform conventions — they know when to drop into Swift or Kotlin to fix a problem, and when not to. Our React Native engineers have shipped consumer apps to the App Store, retail apps to enterprise customers, and SDK-heavy products that need native modules. We use Expo as the default and bare RN when we need to.
Why Techyor.
Senior. Specialist. Shipping.
Expo + EAS, native fallback
Expo managed workflow handles 90% of cases. For the other 10% (custom native modules, specialized hardware), our developers write Swift and Kotlin, not just JS.
Animation and gesture handling
Reanimated 3, React Native Gesture Handler, and Skia for high-performance UI. Our team writes 60fps animations, not 'good enough' ones.
Real device testing, real launches
TestFlight beta tracks, Play Console internal testing, Sentry crash reporting integrated from day one. Production-grade from version 1.0.

How you can hire.
Three ways to engage.
Dedicated Full-Time
A senior developer working exclusively on your product, embedded into your team, sprint cycle, and rituals. Best for roadmap-driven work with continuous shipping.
Part-Time / Fractional
Two to three days a week of senior expertise. Ideal for early-stage teams, technical advisory, code review, or supplementing an existing in-house team.
Fixed-Scope Project
Defined milestones, outcomes, and timeline. Best when the brief is clear and you want a predictable budget. Includes design, QA, and handover.
How it works.
Simple. No theatre.

FAQ.
Common questions.
Expo or bare React Native?
Expo for most apps in 2026 — EAS Build solves the historical pain points (custom native modules, build failures). We use bare React Native when we need a native module Expo doesn't support, or when integrating with a complex existing native codebase.
How does React Native compare to Flutter?
For teams already in JavaScript/React, React Native wins on shared mental model and code reuse. For teams starting fresh with no React investment, Flutter offers stronger out-of-the-box performance and consistent UI. We do both — choose based on your team, not the framework wars.
Can you ship a Hermes-only app?
Yes. Hermes is the default for new apps and gives meaningful startup-time wins on Android. We also handle migrations from JSC to Hermes when memory profiles need it.
Do you write native modules?
Yes. Swift modules with TurboModule API, Kotlin modules — both. We also publish to npm when reusable, and contribute back to community packages where licenses allow.
How do you handle OTA updates?
EAS Update for JS-only changes. We never push native code via OTA (Apple's policy), and we always gate updates behind a feature flag for safe rollback.
Are you React Native New Architecture-ready?
Yes — we ship apps with the New Architecture (Fabric + TurboModules) enabled where the dependency tree supports it. We also know which packages are still incompatible and how to work around them.
How fast can a developer start?
For most roles, within 5–10 business days from the intro call. We pre-qualify our bench so onboarding is contracts and access — not a hiring search.
Do you sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements?
Yes — every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and a clean IP assignment clause. All work product is your property the moment it's written.
What time zones do your developers cover?
Our team primarily operates in IST with 4–6 hours of overlap with US Pacific, full overlap with EU, and full overlap with AU East. We commit to overlap windows in writing.
