About Create a React Native Mobile App for WordPress Website 2020

Important Note! Course content is based on an old Expo version and is not currently supported. So if you are following the course by building the app, please consider that you may find breaks and warnings. You should follow latest Expo and React Native documentation to verify the code.

React Native is an excellent tool for building both android and ios apps with the same codebase. For web developers, it can be even more suitable to build mobile apps as it is mainly based on Javascript. WordPress has also made it easier by providing the built-in REST API. 

So if you are having a WordPress website with basic Javascript knowledge and you want to create a mobile app for the website, this course would be for you.

If you have no Javascript knowledge or you don't want to dig much through coding, this course provides a readymade template that you can use along with a WordPress plugin to create your app.
