Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the React Native Mastery roadmap take?
The 24-phase React Native roadmap takes 20-30 weeks at 1-2 hours per day. JavaScript and React experience is recommended but not required — early phases cover prerequisites.
Should I learn React before React Native?
It is strongly recommended. React Native uses the same component model, hooks, and state management as React. Complete the Frontend Development roadmap or at minimum the React sections before starting.
Do I need to know Swift or Kotlin for this roadmap?
No. The roadmap covers React Native for cross-platform development. Native iOS and Android concepts are covered at a level needed for debugging and native module integration, not full native app development.
Does this roadmap cover Expo or bare React Native?
Both. The roadmap covers Expo SDK, EAS Build, and Expo Router, as well as bare React Native CLI workflows, native module development, and Gradle/Xcode configuration.
Can I publish to both iOS and Android with this roadmap?
Yes. The roadmap covers the full release pipeline for both platforms — signing, provisioning, App Store submission, Google Play submission, CI/CD, OTA updates, and production monitoring.
