1
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:08,160
So what are the requirements for you to complete this course and to build native mobile apps with React

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,260
Native?

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,280
You need Javascript and React knowledge,

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,510
you don't need to be an expert

5
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:15,000
but basic knowledge is required.

6
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:20,910
You don't need to know Android, Java, Swift or ObjectiveC or Kotlin, you don't need to know anything

7
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:24,990
of that, we'll not write code in those languages.

8
00:00:24,990 --> 00:00:30,170
Now regarding the hardware and software you have, it depends on what you want to build.

9
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:36,390
If you want to build an iOS app which you distribute through the App Store, then on Windows, that's not

10
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:42,930
possible locally but with the help of expo, you can actually build such an app there remotely which means

11
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:48,330
it's getting built on expo's servers and you can always distribute it to the App Store with the help

12
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:54,240
of expo but it's a bit more difficult and if you're not using expo, you absolutely can't build iOS apps

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:54,990
on Windows,

14
00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:57,870
that's simply a restriction imposed by Apple.

15
00:00:57,870 --> 00:00:59,240
Same is true for Linux by the way,

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,530
you can't build iOS apps there either.

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,370
Android apps can be built on Windows locally with or without expo and it's the same for MacOS and all

18
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:08,960
platforms,

19
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:14,880
you can build iOS and Android apps on MacOS with or without expo without problems.

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,990
So it doesn't look too bad

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,540
I'd say, no real deal breakers in here.

22
00:01:19,770 --> 00:01:24,330
With that, let's dive deeper into React Native and learn all about it.
