React Native and how to (partly) integrate it in your native app



React Native
React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.


  • React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
  • With Hot Reloading, you can even run new code while retaining your application state.
  • React Native combines smoothly with components written in Objective-C, Java, or Swift.


Currently it's full monty or none: Either you use React Native completely for you app or you can't use it at all, e.g. for a single widget or screen. If you face the same situation take a look at:

Titanium: Releasing Memory

- It’s true that you can’t manually manage your application objects’ reference count in iOS applications. There are, however, things you can do to free up memory – the big ones in the 1.x product are closing windows (which releases all UI resources associated with the window) and setting references to a proxy object (like one returned by Ti.UI.createXXX) to null, which will release the resources associated with that object. Why you should stay away from Titanium

Using Speech with iOS and Android: SiriKit, Voice Capabilities, Google Assistant

SiriKit SiriKit enables your iOS apps and watchOS apps to work with Siri, so users can get things done using just their voice. Your content and services can be used in new scenarios including access from the lock screen and hands-free use. Apps adopt SiriKit by building an extension that communicates with Siri, even when your app isn’t running. The extension registers with specific domains and intents that it can handle. For example, a messaging app would likely register to support the Messages domain, and the intent to send a message. Siri handles all of the user interaction, including the voice and natural language recognition, and works with your extension to get information and handle user requests. Apple Developer Adding Voice Capabilites Voice actions are an important part of the wearable experience. They let users carry out actions hands-free and quickly. Wear provides two types of voice actions: System-provided These voice actions are task-based and are built into ...

Leveraging your iPhone development expertise to build Windows Phone 7 applications

Assuming you are a happy coder, the joy of developing software all comes down to a few things: Building something cool that users will enjoy Getting rewards from users and recognition from peers Learning how to solve new challenges and build novel features. Even if you have a solid expertise on a particular platform/language, I think it is essential to be a “polyglot” developer. In other words, you might have a native or preferred language, but opening your mind to others can be very stimulating and will bring considerable value to your abilities and your resume. Jumping from one platform or language to another can introduce breaking changes in your habits, but ultimately change is very stimulating and will expand your opportunities. If you are a .NET developer, learning Windows Phone development is not really “change.” Instead, it is more of a continuum, where you just add new features to what you already know. If you are an iPhone developer, new to Windows Phone (and .NET), ...

Speed up your unit tests! Swap out your App Delegate for testing.

Faster, please One thing that can slow our tests down is if our App performs expensive tasks on startup and it is not unusual to place code that synchronizes with a server in our implementation of UIAppDelegate. Luckily for us there is a way to change the production App Delegate with a fake that does nothing. Objective-C class FakeAppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {   var window: UIWindow?   func application(application: UIApplication,     didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject : AnyObject]?) -> Bool {     self.window?.rootViewController = UIViewController()     return true   } } let isRunningTests = NSClassFromString("XCTestCase") != nil if isRunningTests {   UIApplicationMain(Process.argc, Process.unsafeArgv, nil,     NSStringFromClass(FakeAppDelegate)) } else {   UIApplicationMain(Process.argc, Process.unsafeArgv, nil,     NSStringFromClass(AppDelegate)) ...

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!
