Do we use the same code base for Android and iOS?

Yes, we can use the same codebase for Android and iOS, and React takes care of all the native component translations. For example, a React Native ScrollView use ScrollView on Android and UiScrollView on iOS.

Yes, in React Native, you typically use the same code base for both Android and iOS platforms. React Native allows you to write your application logic in JavaScript or TypeScript, and then it leverages native components to render the user interface on both Android and iOS devices. This approach enables code reusability, as you can share a significant portion of your codebase between the two platforms.

While the majority of the code is shared, there might be cases where you need to write platform-specific code for certain functionalities or UI components. React Native provides a mechanism for handling such scenarios through platform-specific extensions (e.g., Platform.OS in React Native). This allows you to conditionally execute code based on the platform, ensuring that your app works seamlessly on both Android and iOS.

In summary, while you use the same code base for React Native applications, you may need to address platform-specific nuances when necessary.
