React Native CLI
React Native CLI is a command-line interface tool for creating, building, and managing React Native applications. It provides a set of commands to initialize new projects, run development servers, and compile apps for iOS and Android platforms. It is the official toolchain for React Native development, offering a streamlined workflow for developers.
Developers should learn React Native CLI when building cross-platform mobile apps with React Native, as it is essential for project setup, development, and deployment. It is particularly useful for projects requiring full control over native code, custom configurations, or integration with existing native modules. Use cases include creating new apps from scratch, running apps on simulators/emulators, and generating production builds.
