Best Practices
✅ DO
Use functional components with React Hooks
Implement proper error handling and loading states
Use Redux or Context API for state management
Leverage React Navigation for routing
Optimize list rendering with FlatList
Handle platform specific code elegantly
Use TypeScript for type safety
Test on both iOS and Android
Use environment variables for API endpoints
Implement proper memory management
❌ DON'T
Use inline styles excessively (use StyleSheet)
Make API calls without error handling
Store sensitive data in plain text
Ignore platform differences
Create large monolithic components
Use index as key in lists
Make synchronous operations
Ignore battery optimization
Deploy without testing on real devices
