Senior Design Team sdmay19-02 • Convert an industry leading native mobile app to React Native


Problem Statement

Buildertrend currently has developers, testers, and other employees working on two separate applications: their IOS and Android app. They require specialized developers for each domain even though what they are developing is functionally the same. Having two applications means twice the cost, twice the risk, twice the work, and twice the maintenance.


Solution

Every major phone company on the market has support to run native javascript code on their phones. React Native leverages this to build application to two different targets: IOS and Android. Our project involves remaking the client side functionality in React Native combining the two applications into one.
