At Facebook Connectivity, we strive to move fast while ideally having a shared, robust mobile infrastructure that encourages reusable code. For our latest mobile challenge, we selected React Native over classic Native development.

React Native's most common pro is that it enables shared code between web and mobile. Most people think that comes at a cost of lost functionality on the mobile side.

This talk will dive deep into "bridging" the gap between React Native and the Android Operating System by discussing the React Native Bridge, Native Modules and Event Emission.

At the end of this talk, we will know how to fully utilise React Native without compromising on app functionality.
