React Native: Is my code running on iOS or Android?

— 1 minute read

React-native v0.12.0 now comes with support for Android out-of-the-box.

A common issue when writing cross platform (a.k.a isomorphic) code is determining which platform your code is being executed on.

Luckily there's a simple way:

import { Platform } from "react-native";

if (Platform.OS === "ios") {
  // iOS specific code here
} else {
  // Android specific code here
}
