The “native feel” is more than just polish — it’s the difference between apps users love and apps they abandon.

In this talk from the React Universe Meetup in Wrocław (April 2024), Oskar Kwaśniewski, React Native Core contributor and Senior Engineer at Callstack, unpacks what native feeling actually means — and how to achieve it in React Native across platforms like iOS, Android, tvOS, VisionOS, and beyond.

You’ll learn:
➡️ What makes an app feel truly native
➡️ Why platform guidelines matter (and where most devs go wrong)
➡️ How to use native navigation primitives in RN
➡️ When and why JavaScript navigation falls short
➡️ How Oskar built react-native-bottom-tabs to offer native tab bars that adapt to every platform—from Android to visionOS
