# React Native Multiplatform: Recreating Apple & Google Photo…

**[Software Mansion](https://daily.dev/sources/swmansion)** · 14 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Part 2 of a series on building a multiplatform photo gallery app with React Native covers adapting a mobile app for TV platforms (tvOS, Android TV, Fire TV) and the web. For TV, it explains using the react-native-tvos fork, Expo config plugin setup, remote control navigation via TouchableOpacity props, react-tv-space-navigation, and TVFocusGuideView, plus responsive scaling across different TV resolutions. For web support, it covers using react-native-web, accessing local photos via the File System Access API and webkitdirectory as a fallback, persisting directory handles with IndexedDB, and handling dynamic window resizing with useWindowDimensions.
