With RN's and Expo's out of the box support for Android/iOS, I find the missing piece is native support for Responsive Grid layout. Till then, I've derived one based on the new support in RN v0.42 for relative dimensions. I've taken the liberty of correcting the mental model for Grid to eliminate the decoherence that results from using both an absolute column count together with relative sizing (!) by letting the developer specify grid column width as a percentage of screen size and allowing the specifying of the width of a given column in the layout as a multiple of that percentage. This way the developer doesn't have to divide the screen size in pixels (assuming they know that for the screen they're testing on, which is not always the case) by some arbitrary number of grid columns in order to get the width they desire per grid column (i

ndirect route.) They can instead use visual intuition about relative sizes to define the column width directly as a percentage of screen width. I also found RTL support (for Hebrew/Arabic apps) generally lacking in RN, so I added RTL layout support to it. https://github.com/idibidiart/react-native-responsive-grid

It's not just different platforms but different screen sizes (and RTL layouts) that's the biggest challenge I found in developing React Native apps. To solves those challenges, I'd like to share something I've been working on: a responsive grid for RN with RTL layout support. It has reduced the time it takes to build relative size and responsive layouts by a factor of 10, easily. It's based on previous similar work but with some radical changes and a few functional and usability enhancements. Looking for testers! https://github.com/idibidiart/react-native-responsive-grid
