Skills
What a good React Native developer brings
A shared codebase needs careful platform work. Look for a developer who can explain how they build, test and release the app, with examples relevant to your users and devices.
- Platform conventionsHandle navigation, gestures, permissions and keyboard behaviour in ways that fit both iOS and Android.
- Native integrationsAdd Swift or Kotlin when a device API or vendor SDK needs code beyond the JavaScript layer.
- Responsive screensUse FlatList or FlashList for long lists, Reanimated for animations and profiling tools to trace slow renders.
- TestingUse Jest and React Native Testing Library, plus end-to-end checks with Detox or Maestro on devices and emulators.
- ReleasesHandle signing, build profiles, store listings and privacy details, as well as eligible over-the-air JavaScript updates.
Use cases
What you can hire React Native developers for
You might need a companion app for an existing web product. A React Native app can share business logic, types or API clients with a React front end, giving your developers useful common ground across products.
For a new product, a shared codebase helps you put a first version in front of users on both platforms. Inspection, delivery and sales teams also use field apps with forms, photos and location information.
Check the fit before committing. Heavy graphics, advanced camera or audio processing, and new platform features may suit native Swift and Kotlin better. Flutter is another cross-platform option; React Native is often chosen when your team already knows JavaScript and React.
How hiring works
How hiring works with us
You direct the work while hiring through a studio moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence to the studio. We agree how the developer will fit your work before access is granted.
- 01
Choose capacity
Hire full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month. You can scale the plan up or down, or pause it as your needs change.
- 02
Agree priorities
We use a shared backlog that you control and review with us regularly, so the developer has a clear order for features, fixes and improvements.
- 03
Set up access
Start with individual accounts and the least permissions needed in staging. Add production access once the review process is in place.
- 04
Review the plan
As work changes, revisit capacity against the backlog and decide what should happen next.
Time zones
Working hours between New Zealand and India
IST is 6h30m behind New Zealand, or 7h30m behind during New Zealand daylight time. We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards, so you can see priorities and discuss the work directly.
Agree an overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it clear of other meetings on both sides. Written end-of-day updates give you progress, blockers and next steps to review when your day starts. Handover notes record unfinished work, open questions and decisions when the teams have limited time online together.
Rules
Personal information in your New Zealand app
Your app may collect information about a person from someone else, such as through a form completed by a colleague. In that situation, New Zealand’s Privacy Act requires reasonable steps to make the person aware of specified matters, unless an exception applies. We set up a notice in the relevant app flow and agree what information it needs to show.
For field teams using inspection or delivery forms, identify where personal information enters the workflow before those screens are built. That gives the notice a clear place in the flow.
Vetting
How to judge a React Native developer before you commit
- Try published apps on an older, slower phone. Scroll, rotate the screen and go offline; check for freezes or crashes.
- Ask how a feature that behaves differently on iOS and Android will be handled. Look for platform-specific code where needed and testing on both.
- Ask how far Expo would take your app and where custom native code becomes necessary. Listen for specific modules and build settings.
- Set a small paid taskan API list, detail screen, offline cache and form running on an iOS simulator and Android emulator.
Checklist
What to have ready before developers start
Give the developer enough direction to begin useful work.
- A ranked backlog, or a first set of well-described tasks with clear priorities.
- The skills and seniority your work needs, including mobile, back-end or legacy-system experience.
- Your working hours, the overlap you need and the person who will answer developer questions.
- A definition of done covering review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.
Cost & time
What affects the cost of hiring React Native developers

Native work
Features that need Swift or Kotlin introduce work beyond the JavaScript layer.
Management
Our plan includes a lead who reviews code and keeps work on track.

Questions
Asked by businesses in New Zealand
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a React Native developer?
There is no fixed price. The developer’s seniority, the condition of your codebase and your full-time or part-time commitment all shape the plan. Missing documentation or specialist requirements also affect onboarding. We send a free quote once we have agreed the scope with you.
How do I hire a remote developer to join my existing team?
Start by agreeing how the developer will work in your existing setup. We fit into your repositories, tools and review process, and work with your tickets and stand-ups. Plan an environment setup, a product and code walkthrough, and a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.
Should I hire full time or part time?
Choose full time for a full, ongoing backlog on one product. Part-time or hour-based work suits maintenance, a side project or tasks that arrive in bursts. Look at the work you have ready and the direction your developer will receive before choosing the commitment.
What is included in the development plan?
The plan includes code reviews, tests and documentation, as well as regular progress updates and demos with direct access to the team. Design support covers new pages, interface updates and design-system work. You can use the demos to review what has been built and discuss the next priorities.
Who owns the code and project accounts?
You own the code, and we provide an NDA. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, then confirm intellectual-property assignment in the contract. That makes ownership and account control clear when work changes hands or the engagement ends.
Can you support an existing app after launch?
Yes. We can work on features, fixes and improvements across your apps, including upgrades to older React Native versions and replacement of abandoned native libraries. Ongoing upgrades help the app keep building and remain accepted by the stores as React Native and its libraries change.
