This is huge. 87-99% shared code between iOS and Android. Someday companies as big as Instagram won't need to have entire separate product teams for separate platforms. > React Native allowed product teams to ship features faster to both our iOS and Android apps. The list below shows the percentage of code shared between the apps for some of the products, which could be used as a proxy to measure how we managed to improve developer velocity: Post Promote: 99% SMS Captcha Checkpoint: 97% Comment Moderation: 85% Lead Gen Ads: 87% Push Notification Settings: 92% codazoda

I'm working on a project where we are recreating a native app using React Native. We've found similar results; about 90% of our code is shared between both platforms. We also build both platforms every time, so both apps match really well. I'm not sold on React yet but this is a major plus to the platform. htormey

Yep, I can confirm the same. I've shipped two reasonably complex react native apps, both were about 80-90% shared code. Areas where we diverged were things like permissions on Android versus iOS, code that has to run in the background while the app is not foregrounded, material design stuff. what2
