Why React Native for Nigerian Mobile Apps?
React Native with Expo lets Nigerian development agencies deliver iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, significantly reducing time-to-market and development cost.
Getting Started with Expo
Use npx create-expo-app for the fastest setup. Expo Go allows instant testing on physical devices without needing Xcode or Android Studio.
Nigerian Payment Integration
Integrate Paystack via their React Native SDK for in-app payments. Handle Paystack webhooks server-side to confirm transactions before releasing content or purchases.
Push Notifications
Expo Notifications makes push notification setup trivial. Register device tokens on your backend and send targeted notifications for order updates, challenges, or alerts.
Deployment & App Store
Use EAS Build for cloud-based .apk and .ipa generation. Google Play Store registration costs $25 USD once; Apple Developer requires $99/year.
