□ Identify data that needs offline caching
□ Define sync conflict resolution strategy

□ Follow iOS/Android native UX guidelines
□ Consider gestures (swipe, pinch, etc.)
□ Layout for different screen sizes (phone, tablet)

□ Keyboard handling (screen adjustment during input)
□ Safe Area handling (notch, home button area)
□ Handle platform-specific UI differences

□ Store sensitive info with SecureStore
□ Certificate Pinning (if needed)
□ App obfuscation settings

□ Follow App Store review guidelines
□ Prepare Privacy Policy URL
□ Prepare screenshots, app description

A: Recommend separate project over full conversion
   - APIs can be shared
   - UI needs to be rewritten (for native UX)
   - Business logic can be shared

A: Start with Expo!
   - 90%+ of apps are sufficient with Expo
   - Can eject later if needed
   - Use CLI only when native modules are absolutely required

A:
   - iOS: 1-7 days (average 2-3 days)
   - Android: Few hours ~ 3 days

   ⚠️ First submission has high rejection possibility → Follow guidelines carefully!

"Set up a [app description] app project with React Native + Expo.
Configure with 3 tab navigation (Home, Search, Profile)."

"Implement [screen name] screen.
- Display [content] at the top
- Display [list/form/etc.] in the middle
- [Button/navigation] at the bottom"

"Implement screen integrating with [API endpoint].
- Show loading state
- Handle errors
- Support pull-to-refresh"
