Or if you cannot use virtual devices, you can also borrow your relatives phone (brothers, fathers, etc.) and run your app on it (with Expo) to see how it fits in comparison with yours.īut the way to go is to build responsive, and then check on multiple phone (specially Android vs Iphone) to see if your responsive works, or if you have to change some things.Īnother thing, if you want to check how your app is rendered without running a virtual Device on your computer, you can also use Expo Snacks, and on your browser you can see the result. You can also use virtual devices if you can get it to work on your computer. (I'm thinking about the "AppBar" of RN Paper)Įither way, Expo is just a way to make easy the development, but you don't have mandatorily to build ONLY with your phone.

If you use UI libraries, like React Native Paper, or React Native Elements, they have components already made to fit every phone responsively. The toolbar of the app should be equal to the size of toolbar I did get from the phone. Same for phone, you have to build it with responsive in mind, you have to use ways to get the size of the screen on which the app will display, and to get for example, the size of the toolbar on top of the screen, for it to be responsive to every phone.

When you build a website, you build on your own computer with your own screen.įor it to be rendered well on most of the screens that exists, you have to build it Responsive with breakpoints, to fit to the more screens possible. Yes but that's normal, that is true also if you build a website.
