Try Expo. It's built on top of React Native and it makes developing a lot easier because you can see what you code instantly on a real phone. You can send links to people or even use a QR code to share your projects as you work on them.

  • Thank you @FunkSoulNinja. Yeah Expo sounds good over RN. Is it possible for me to generate an ipa file for my iPhone using Expo or it can directly run on my iOS device??? – Thomas Easo Jun 05 '17 at 08:02
  • @ThomasEaso. With Expo you download an app (also called Expo) from app store onto your smartphone and send a code that the desktop Expo client has to your phone (or a QR code) to connect to it. You can also build a standalone file for either iOS or Android with Expo. The documentation for that can be found here [Build Standalone Apps](https://docs.expo.io/versions/v17.0.0/guides/building-standalone-apps.html) – Funk Soul Ninja Jun 05 '17 at 15:41
