🛠️What's in the Box

🏗️Why It Works

⚡ One Codebase, Two Platforms

React Native lets you write your app logic once in JavaScript. Compile to native iOS and Android. Eliminate duplication and reduce maintenance burden.

🚀 Zero Backend Infrastructure

Firebase handles authentication, database, cloud functions, and hosting. No servers to manage, no DevOps, just focus on the app.

💳 Payments Built-in

RevenueCat abstracts App Store and Play Store. Handle subscriptions, one-time purchases, and refunds across both platforms with a single SDK.

📊 Real-Time Sync

Firebase Realtime Database syncs data instantly across all user devices. Users see updates in real-time without polling.
