Research on React Native Compatibility with Swift

• Modules can only be imported one-way

• Swift modules can be exposed to JavaScript and imported into React Native projects, but React Native modules cannot be incorporated into Swift projects

• React Native compiles into native Swift, so there is no contract for what the source output code will do, so it is hard to implement with natively written Swift code

Verdict:

• Since we are not planning to make an Android app as well, it seems that React Native + Swift does not suit our needs as well as a pure Swift iOS application.

Document Setup

• Currently, we have set up the Swift boilerplate code in an Xcode project

• The main view controller is a Tab Bar View with two tabs

• One tab is a Navigation Controller with a nested Tableview and the other one has a simple custom UIView, with a UILabel saying Hello World!
