# Building cross platform applications with React Native

**[Appwrite](https://daily.dev/sources/appwrite_source)** · 6 min read · 57 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Cross platform development allows developers to reach a broader target, save costs, deploy features across platforms in parallel, and have faster development time. However, it is not recommended when relying on advanced device features, high-performance requirements, fine control over memory management and processing, or when a team is already fluent in native development. Cross platform frameworks provide a unified API in a single language and compile the code as native code. UI elements can be rendered through native rendering or a custom rendering engine. Native device-specific functionalities are handled through plugins.
