Are Rork apps actually native iOS/Android apps? Or is it just web apps?
Yes, Rork apps are fully native apps built with React Native and powered by Expo, the #1 cross-platform framework that powers Discord, Shopify, Coinbase, Instagram, and nearly 30% of top 100 apps on the App Store.They work on both iOS and Android devices, and can often be exported to the web. It’s a common misconception that native apps can only be built in Swift or Kotlin and require expensive development.
