CES 2019: You.i Engine One Running React Native Across 11 Platforms
At CES 2018, we announced support for the React Native framework and demoed an RN sample app running on Roku. As expected, the reception was positive. With a groundswell of interest in cross-platform development, this year at CES 2019, we wanted to up the ante by showcasing the platform reach we’re now able to support by highlighting the development benefits of building a unified user experience with React Native on You.i Engine One.
My fellow Sales Engineers and I created a new sample app, pulling data from The Movie Database (TMDb), and demonstrated seamless live updates to content and the user interface for:
- Roku
- tvOS
- Amazon Fire TV
- Android TV (NVIDIA SHIELD)
- Samsung Tizen
- PS4
- Xbox One
- iOS and Android handset/tablet
The best part? Updates run concurrently across all target platforms. An industry first.
Note: The video above highlights Roku, tvOS, Android TV, and Xbox One.
