Handling iOS and Android differences with Platform API and native modules. Use when handling platform-specific behavior or integrating native modules in React Native. (triggers: **/*.tsx, **/*.ts, **/*.ios.*, **/*.android.*, Platform, Platform.select, native-module, ios, android)

React Native Platform-Specific Code

Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)

File Extensions

Use

.ios.

and

.android.

for platform-specific files:

Button.tsx          # Shared
Button.ios.tsx      # iOS-specific
Button.android.tsx  # Android-specific

React Native automatically picks the right file:

iOS: Button.ios.tsx → Button.tsx (fallback)
Android: Button.android.tsx → Button.tsx (fallback)

Native Modules

Expo: Use Expo modules when available (
```
expo-*
```
packages).
Bare RN: Use community modules (
```
@react-native-community/*
```
).
Custom: Write native modules in Swift/Kotlin when needed.

Anti-Patterns

No Excessive Branching: Extract to separate files if logic diverges.
No Hardcoded Version Checks: Use feature detection.
No Ignoring Android: Test on both platforms.
