Feeling overwhelmed by all the new AI coding tools for React Native development? In this episode, Robin and Mazen talk through how they’re actually using tools like Claude, Cursor, and Expo Agent to build React Native apps faster. They share real-world AI coding workflows, lessons learned from building AI-assisted mobile apps, and why React Native still matters in an AI-driven development world.
