React Native CLI Development — Bare Workflow, No Expo Lock-in

If you’re searching for React Native CLI developers specifically, you already know what you need: bare workflow, full native module access, no Expo managed environment constraints.

CimpleO builds production React Native apps using the CLI workflow. We’ve shipped food delivery platforms, peer-to-peer marketplaces, and B2B mobile apps — all with bare React Native, custom native modules where needed, and proper CI/CD pipelines to the App Store and Google Play.

What We’ve Built

Hoppn Food Delivery — React Native + Node.js platform for an African cuisine startup expanding internationally. MangoPay payments, Twilio OTP, Google Maps delivery tracking, real-time order updates.

Pretty New Marketplace — Fashion resale marketplace built as MVP. React Native + Node.js, peer-to-peer delivery logistics, MangoPay, geolocation. Delivered as a standalone MVP for investor validation.

Mertim Marketplace — NestJS backend + React Native mobile for a buying/selling platform with complex delivery flows, payment splits, and Google Maps integration.

Evo Jet Services — Mobile app for aviation trip support: fuel pricing, global airport coverage, transparent billing. Drupal backend with React Native client.

CLI vs Expo — Why It Matters

Expo’s managed workflow works well for simple apps. When you need custom native modules, background services, specific SDK versions, or control over the build pipeline — you need the bare workflow.

Our developers work with:

  • React Native CLI (bare workflow) exclusively for production apps
  • New Architecture (Fabric renderer, JSI, TurboModules) for performance-critical screens
  • Native modules in Swift/Kotlin when JavaScript bridges aren’t enough
  • EAS / Fastlane / Bitrise for CI/CD to App Store and Google Play

Engagement Models

Project-based: fixed scope, iOS + Android delivery, app store submission included. Works well for MVPs and greenfield apps.

Augmentation: your existing team, our senior React Native engineer plugged in. Useful when you need to move faster or handle a specific feature area.

Full mobile team: product + design + React Native + backend. We’ve done this for Hoppn and Pretty New end-to-end.
