Create React Native App (CRNA) with Expo. It doesn't get any better than this from a developer experience perspective.

How does it handle Electron apps? I thought playing with EXPO was a limited venture?

I'm currently developing with Expo with plans to expand to Electron (though I haven't written anything for Electron yet, just the React-Native and Expo portion) but my theory is that once you have the core React functionality down (The API endpoints, Reducers and Actions (if using redux), and general component structure) then porting to Electron will be fairly trivial.

React-Native has a lot of cross-over with React for the web. So I'm hoping when the time comes my port will go smoothly.

Expo/create-react-native-app experimentally support the web now, so you can build both from one codebase. My PR to that effect was recently accepted. See my blogpost[1] about it.

How are you building the applications for the app stores?
