React Native Platform APIs

Use this skill when writing platform-specific code for iOS and Android, handling platform differences, and accessing native functionality.

Key Concepts

Platform Detection

Detect the current platform:

import { Platform } from 'react-native';

// Simple check
if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
  console.log('Running on iOS');
} else if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
  console.log('Running on Android');
}
