Feeling overwhelmed by all the new AI coding tools for React Native development? In this episode, Robin and Mazen talk through how they’re actually using tools like Claude, Cursor, and Expo Agent to build React Native apps faster. They share real-world AI coding workflows, lessons learned from building AI-assisted mobile apps, and why React Native still matters in an AI-driven development world.

Robin chats with Andy Perlitch of Netflix about Giggable, his React Native app for bands. They dig into sharing code with a web app, WebView authentication, testing on real devices, and practical AI workflows, including Cursor debugging and custom ESLint rules that help keep generated code in check.
Robin and Mazen explain how Expo's EAS Update delivers over-the-air updates to React Native apps. They also cover what you can safely ship, how updates reach users, and why runtime versions and rollbacks matter. A practical guide to mobile development, with tips for a smoother app update experience.
Mazen talks with Wojciech Ogrodowczyk of Brains & Beards about building "Dreaming: Language Learning" with React Native. They share lessons on offline video, mobile performance, native modules, and using AI to investigate bugs and improve code reviews.
In another episode of Real Life React Native, AI can pass the tests and still miss the point. Mark Goldstein of Chime explains how Chime keeps humans in the loop: people try React Native app changes in a dogfooding app before release, even when AI-generated code and tests look good.
Gant Laborde returns to the podcast for a recap of all things Chain React! Robin and Mazen chat with Gant about the trends he saw at Chain React this year — from Expo's keynote to AI's growing role in software development — as well as why in-person conferences are still at the center of what motivates us as a community.
