React Native vs Xamarin - Mobile for industry

Sammanfattning: This thesis is developed in collaboration with Tetra Pak AB. The assignment was to create a mobile application which would present information from a platform called ACT, Automation & Connectivity Tools. The mobile application would be called ACT Mobile and would also have functionality from ACT and one application which ACT provides. The ACT platform is a collection of applications that helps and facilitates the work for Tetra Pak employees. This can for example be with remote support and assistance functionality, where they don’t have to be physically present. The mobile application would be developed within two different mobile frameworks in parallel. The two frameworks are React Native and Xamarin. Additional aspects to evaluate are also the maintainability of the system and performance. The result of the thesis was that ACT Mobile was further developed in Xamarin. One of the main reasons was the good knowledge of ASP.NET C# in Tetra Pak. That makes it easy for Tetra Pak to maintain and develop ACT mobile since Xamarin is based on ASP.NET.
