Convert a React Web App to Expo Native
Use Claude Code to plan an incremental React web-to-native migration, map browser APIs and introduce native UI without discarding reusable code.
Map web assumptions to native equivalents before deciding which code can be shared and which must change.
A web-to-native migration is not a CSS conversion. Browser storage, routing, DOM components, interaction patterns and platform capabilities all need an explicit target strategy.
Who this guide is for
Next.js, Vite or Create React App teams moving an existing product into iOS and Android with Expo.
- Inventory browser-only APIs and layout assumptions.
- Reuse domain logic while replacing platform-specific presentation safely.
- Adopt DOM components selectively instead of hiding the entire web app in a webview.
Which skills fit this job?
Start with the narrowest option that covers the full output. The package is useful when the workflow regularly crosses several specialisms.
Migration plan

A practical workflow
Inventory web dependencies
Find DOM access, CSS assumptions, browser storage, router coupling and packages without React Native support.
Choose migration boundaries
Decide which domain code is portable, which views become native and where a temporary DOM component is justified.
Migrate one complete flow
Prove navigation, state, network behavior and platform UI in a real user journey before expanding the conversion.
Where this approach stops
Keep this boundary visible
Do not promise full code reuse. Treat shared business logic as an opportunity and browser-specific presentation as migration work that must be tested on devices.
Questions before you choose
Can I keep some web components during the migration?
Yes. Expo DOM components can bridge selected web code while native screens are introduced incrementally.
Will existing CSS work in React Native?
Not directly. React Native has a different styling and layout model, so web styles and browser behavior need deliberate replacements.
