The State of React Native survey is a grassroots initiative from Bartłomiej Bukowski software engineer working at Software Mansion. The survey started on 9th December 2024 and run till 8th January 2025 gathering 3501 responses in total.

Goal

The goal of the State of React Native survey is to provide you with a resource for comparing different aspects of React Native development to help you make better technical decisions. The survey can be used as a resource to find alternatives in different categories of application development. Keep in mind that these types of results should always be taken with a grain of salt, as it's impossible to capture the state of the entire ecosystem.

Design

The survey was modelled and built on the foundations of Devographics' State of JavaScript, State of CSS and State of React surveys. Unlike the 1st and 2nd editions, where we used the same codebase, for the 3rd edition we've done a proper update of the base framework to take advantage of the improvements the Devographics team has made over the years. A team of developers and a designer at Software Mansion, led by Bartłomiej Bukowski, redesigned and adapted the survey framework to achieve custom visuals and behaviours. The question set was designed based on Software Mansion's experience with the React Native ecosystem, with some help from external contributors. We asked the community for input in a GitHub discussion, most of which was incorporated into the final survey. All questions in the survey were optional.

Audience

The survey was open for everyone to participate and the responders weren't filtered or selected in any way. We were thrilled to see the survey trending organically on X, Slack and Discord communities. The survey was promoted through social media accounts and the This Week in React newsletter.

Technical overview

This edition was built by forking the framework code from the Devographics team in mid-2024. From there, we've redesigned the visuals and made some minor changes to the behaviour to give you software that's still very similar to the original surveys, but with our own twist.

Note: This is not an official React Native survey, and the survey team is not affiliated with Meta or the React Native team.
