## Description

React Native is a cross-platform mobile framework used to build native iOS and Android applications from a single codebase. It provides a native UI component library of declarative components that map directly to native platform interface controls.

The environment enables a mobile app iteration workflow that supports immediate interface updates after changing source files, bypassing full native build cycles.

The framework covers cross-platform app development and native mobile UI development, allowing for the creation of applications that render native components rather than web views.
