Desenvolvimento cross-platform com react native: um estudo de caso do aplicativo naveg

Abstract

The vegetarian market has grown in recent years and this, coupled with the growth in the use of smartphones in Brazil, provides good business opportunities for entrepreneurs. In this context, this work presents the process of conceptualization and development of NaVeg, a mobile application that aims to help vegans and vegetarians from Fortaleza to discover the main events, products and services related to this lifestyle. NaVeg's intent is to be cross-platform, running on Android and iOS Operating Systems. In order to reduce development time, we adopted the React Native framework, which transforms JavaScript code into native applications through the React library. The concepts of cross-platform and React Native development, the methodology that guided the production of NaVeg, the conceptualization of its proposal and the essential points of developing, testing and exporting a cross-platform application with React Native are presented in this report. Good practices of the use of this tool are also described, and the difficulties in the construction of NaVeg are discussed. Finally, a comparison is made between the resulting apps on Android and iOS.
