Back to project foundations
Application starter
Obytes React Native Starter
Expo and React Native starter with file-based navigation, data fetching, localization and environment-specific configuration.
Why we recommend it
We recommend it when a TypeScript team wants a mobile app with clear conventions for routing, API calls and reusable UI. The starter brings these foundations together, making it easier to spend the next iteration on customer journeys and backend integration.
When to choose it
- Mobile customer portals and employee apps backed by an existing API.
- A shared iOS and Android codebase with development, staging and production environments.
What to consider
- The sample authentication flow still needs a real backend and a deliberate credential-storage design; it is not a completed identity system.
- Native modules, permissions and custom development builds require platform setup. Expo services and app-store distribution have their own terms and possible fees.
Start with this project
Use the pnpm version declared by the repository and an Expo-compatible Node.js environment. Follow the starter's documentation, configure app identifiers and environments, review dependencies, then prepare the development client and target-platform tooling before testing on devices.
