React Native Guide

React Native is a first-class ORCA Framework mobile surface, whether used through Expo-first workflows or with deeper native customization.

Default ORCA Framework Bias

Prefer Expo plus React Native unless the app clearly needs a more custom native path from the start.

What Changes From Web

• build and release are native-platform operations
• auth and deep links need mobile-specific handling
• push needs real iOS and Android setup
• subscription guidance must respect app-store billing reality

Typical Companion Stack

• Expo or native React Native workflow
• EAS or another build pipeline
• Supabase or Firebase
• RevenueCat
• OneSignal
• Sentry
