📌 Using Native Modules and Bridging in React Native

🎯 Goal

Understand how to extend React Native functionality by interacting with native code (Swift, Kotlin, Objective-C, Java).

---

✅ Why is this important?

Some Focus Bear features require native functionality, like accessing system settings, notifications, and background services. Bridging allows React Native to communicate with native modules.

---

✅ Tasks

• Research how native modules work in React Native
• Explore existing React Native libraries that use native modules
• Understand how to bridge Java/Kotlin (Android) and Objective-C/Swift (iOS) with JavaScript
• Look into react-native-config for handling environment variables

---

✅ Reflection (rn-native-modules.md)

• Why would you need to use native modules in a React Native app?
• How does React Native communicate with native code?
• What are some challenges of maintaining native bridges?
