It supports; write once, and use everywhere.

Today every developer prefers to get their app developed on the platform of React Native framework. As there are multiple benefits to be attained from it, such as:

• Expedites the development and saves money
• It is open-source and free for all
• Tech-giant Facebook is behind its existence, that creates a promising environment around it
• It is easy to be deployed on the respective stores and allows over-the-air updates
• App performance mimics the Native framework
• JavaScript is the most popular programming language, and React Native is written in it
• A preferred platform for the cross-platform mobile app development

On the global spectrum Fortune 200 to Global 2000 companies, every blue-collar companies have embraced React Native in their development model.

However, to maintain the app’s performance, developers need to take care of multiple factors.

What are the challenges faced by developers?

On developing React Native mobile app, some of the major challenges include:

• App performance
• Crash-free user flow across iOS and Android platforms

When a mobile app experience crashes, it quickly drives away customers. To monitor performance much before the problem arises, and troubleshoot crashes, New Relic Mobile's React Native agent comes as a savior.

What is New Relic?

New Relic Mobile offers a flexible and extensible agent, which extends from iOS and Android to React Native. Mobile React Native ensures the same levels of data security that our other Mobile products provide.

What is React Native Beta?

Earlier, it has been observed, that React Native developers, could not access New Relic Mobile APM. This is specially designed for the native frameworks for iOS & Android.

To help it run smoothly, FutureStack 19 company from New York City, has announced the development of React Native Mobile agent. This framework will allow React Native developers to get the characteristics of New Relic One and helps in measuring and improving the apps’ performance.

With this Beta release, developers can monitor and track their pre-production applications. This will help in optimizing the apps’ and helps in creating scalable, fast, and reliable React Native apps.

Explore React Native Mobile agent

It is a completely new agent that is extending capabilities of the New Relic platform, including React Native support. With this agent, developers are likely to get JS Errors, native crashes, custom events and attributes, mobile breadcrumbs, and flexible sessions.

Something you should know that this agent does not include HTTP errors/requests, as of now.

The infrastructure of the new agent covers end-user to the back-end, and ensure to provide an incredible approach to the entire system.

With the help of this new agent, it has become easier for the Hybrid mobile app developers to deliver elegant, performant React Native mobile applications. This helps the end-product to get crystal clear app product, that gets the customers’ attention and help in reaching your business goals.

Now another question occurs, that what all React Native agent provides to developers? Is it only sufficed to native crashes and Javascript errors?

No of course not, the list of advantages to be gained from React Native Mobile agent is longer than you expected. Let’s take a quick look at the benefits pool.

Advantages to get from React Native Beta Agent

• Provides crash monitoring for native iOS and Android apps;
• Tracks JavaScript errors, helping developers to prioritize the crash-fixing;
• Allows developers to customize attributes, custom events, and mobile breadcrumbs. This helps in understanding major flaws and track the important app metrics without a fail;
• Ensures developers can monitor background and spot any crash and bug before it hampers the app performance;
• Also, another great advantage you get from Agent gives developers the ability to keep a session open for 30-minutes of inactivity;
• And it does not stop here, but developers further can access Session API, which lets them keep a session open based on background activities. This is considered one of the main aspects of the user's session and is quite helpful in the context of watching a movie on an entertainment app or running for an hour with a fitness app.
• With the help of offline crash monitoring, developers can ensure if the app user doesn't have access to the internet. Here developers can check and check the stored data when their app users get back online.

To conclude, it can be stated that the new agent is a fraction of the current agents' size. And it further makes it possible for the users to install the apps that provide live data on devices, such as smartwatches.

And this new Beta mode will help the developers to monitor and track the crashes, so your app users experience the seamless app functionality without a fail.
