About Codename One is an open-source cross-platform mobile app development framework to build native iOS, Android, Desktop & Web apps with a single Java or Kotlin codebase. It compiles Java or Kotlin into native code for iOS, Android, UWP (Universal Windows Platform), and even JavaScript (with seamless PWA and Thread support). It's a complete mobile platform featuring virtual machines, simulator, design tools (visual theme/builder/css), IDE integrations, ports to multiple OS's and much more. It provides full access to the underlying native OS code (e.g. Objective-C, C#, Dalvik/ART) through a portable abstraction which enables 100% code reuse.	About React Native combines the best parts of native development with React, a best-in-class JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Use a little—or a lot. You can use React Native today in your existing Android and iOS projects or you can create a whole new app from scratch. React primitives render to native platform UI, meaning your app uses the same native platform APIs other apps do. Many platforms, one React. Create platform-specific versions of components so a single codebase can share code across platforms. With React Native, one team can maintain two platforms and share a common technology—React. React Native lets you create truly native apps and doesn't compromise your users' experiences. It provides a core set of platform agnostic native components like View, Text, and Image that map directly to the platform’s native UI building blocks.

	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros - React Native is one of the best and leading frameworks to create cross-platform applications with a single codebase. - If you are familiar with ReactJS it becomes easy to work on this framework as the core concepts aside from component names stay the same. - The building time is one of the lowest. - Hot refresh works like a charm. 1. React Native helps in developing cross-platform stable applications for both Android and iOS with single code base. 2. It supports hot reload and hot restart, so the developer can see the changes in the application in real time. 3. The community is overwhelmingly fast, so any developer can start learning the framework with ease. 4. The application made on React Native gives performance close to native application made on Kotlin and Swift because of the native library used. Cons - There are little to no premade components, everything is bare bones so the user has to build upon it to achieve any user interface, it would have been great if the framework provided some premade components and allowed customization on top of it. 1. The debugging can be a problem initially, as the debugging is not as intuitive as other frameworks.
