One Codebase, Two Platforms, Infinite Possibilities

React Native is an open‑source framework that lets you build fully native iOS and Android applications from a single JavaScript codebase, combining the speed of development you’d expect from the web with the look, feel, and performance of a true native app. At 1985, we champion React Native because it reduces your time to market and total cost of ownership by up to 50%, all while giving your users a smooth, high‑fidelity experience that’s indistinguishable from platform‑specific code.

We treat performance as a first‑class citizen at 1985: our engineers apply best practices like optimizing list virtualization, minimizing bridge crossings for heavy data transfers, and leveraging the latest React Native architecture (Fabric and JSI) to enable synchronous native rendering. Every build goes through continuous profiling, memory‑leak audits, and stress testing so you’re guaranteed 60 fps animations, instant load times, and rock‑solid stability under load.

Absolutely. Our senior developers have deep expertise in both Java/Kotlin and Objective‑C/Swift, allowing us to write custom bridges that expose any native functionality or SDK to your React Native code. Whether you need advanced analytics, AR/VR capabilities, low‑level hardware access, or payment gateways, we’ll seamlessly integrate and maintain those modules so your app feels fully cohesive.

We architect every React Native project at 1985 with a clear separation between shared business logic and platform‑specific components. Using React Native’s Platform module, conditional styling, and adaptive layouts (SafeAreaView, Dimensions, etc.), we tailor UI and interaction patterns to each OS’s conventions. The result is a unified user experience that respects iOS and Android design guidelines without duplicating effort.
