Enhancing React Native: Architecture and Performance Best Practices for Modern Mobile Development

Abstract

Native React is considered one of the top frameworks for hybrid mobile development and provides a single source of code base for iOS and Android. However, this comes at the expense of loss of possible performance and scalability, and such can only be gained with careful architectural decisions and performance optimizations. State management, modules, Bridge optimization, and performance improvements (reducer, memory fixed, Hermes JS engine, and asset sticking) are the subjects of this paper. Developers can decrease computational overhead, increase application responsiveness, and improve efficiency by implementing these strategies. From here on, as React Native matures, Fabric with AI will further alleviate running apps at high speed and relative scale to mobile devices.
