React Native for Android
Question for everybody doing some sort of cross platform mobile dev.<p>How common is it to have NO experience with a platform's native libraries? In other words you didn't go from ObjC or Java to React Native/Cordova/Xamarin to try and re-use code but because you know JS or C# and weren't concerned about learning the native platform.<p>For any that started out with no native platform knowledge did you start to dip into it as you got more experience with the cross platform tool and started bumping up against any potential limitations?<p>I've been flirting with Swift when I have some (rare) downtime, to get a foundation, but maybe that's not even necessary anymore given the effort companies like Facebook/Xamarin/Telerik* are putting into abstracting away the native platforms.<p>[*] I intentionally left Cordova off that list as "native" native and "phonegap" native are two different things.
