Hire React Native Developers

React Native pulls from the large React pool, which is a trap: writing the JavaScript layer is the easy 70 percent, and plenty of web React developers put it on a resume after one Expo demo. The real job starts at the native boundary, the build toolchains, and the two app stores. Weak candidates ship fine in the simulator and then stall the moment a Gradle build breaks, a native module needs linking, or an iOS release gets rejected. The gap between "runs on my machine" and "shipped and stable on a $120 Android phone" is where the cost lives.

What to look for

Look for someone who has actually shipped to both the App Store and Play Store and can talk through the unglamorous parts: signing and provisioning, Hermes, OTA updates (Expo EAS or CodePush), and list performance with FlatList or Reanimated. The sharpest tell is a device-specific bug story, an Android-only ANR, a crash that only reproduced on one OS version, or a native dependency that fought the build. Ask what they do when a red screen only appears on a physical device and never in the simulator. If they have only ever run things in Expo Go and never touched a bare or ejected build, treat that as a ceiling, not a detail.
