  1. What is the primary goal of React Native?
    1. To remove the need to build mobile web apps.
    2. To make it easy for React developers to apply what they already know about building UI components to building native mobile apps.
    3. To provide a unified user experience across all mobile platforms.
  2. Does React Native provide the exact same experience on iOS and Android?
    1. No, iOS and Android have fundamentally different user experiences.
    2. Yes, you want your app to function identically on iOS and Android.
  3. Does React Native remove the need for mobile web apps?
    1. Yes, there is no need for mobile web apps if you can build native mobile apps.
    2. No, there will always be a need for mobile web apps. React Native is there for you when you have demand for a native mobile app.
