Progress Kinvey has enabled numerous developers over the years to modernize (and mobilize) their data. But Kinvey is much more than just data. With chatbots powering mobile UI, enterprise user authentication/ authorization, cloud functions and unparalleled security options, Kinvey is positioned as a leading cloud-based app development platform.
Kinvey is also well known for its extensive SDKs. Instead of providing just the "lowest common denominator" of SDKs, Kinvey includes built-in support for:
- iOS
- Android
- NativeScript
- HTML5
- REST
- Xamarin
- Angular
- PhoneGap/Cordova
- Node.js
- .NET
But one SDK has been suspiciously missing...
Introducing the React Native SDK
We are pleased to announce the availability of the React Native SDK for Kinvey. Frontend developers who develop mobile apps with JavaScript have many options today (including our very own NativeScript). React Native is another popular option, and now Kinvey provides full support.
React Native has become wildly popular among the growing React community. You can build and deploy native mobile apps for iOS and Android, all using your favorite framework (React) and language (JavaScript).
Get Started with Kinvey and React Native
To get you started, you'll want to take a look at the Kinvey React Native SDK repository on GitHub, which is in beta. Here you'll find some quick "getting started" code—and a few tips.
We'd love to hear your feedback! Submit your own pull requests to the SDK directly or tell us about anything we can improve via the Kinvey developer forum.
If you haven't already, give Progress Kinvey a try today!
