Canvas uses the open-source framework, React Native, to create native mobile apps. Developers must be familiar with React Native to create native mobile apps using Canvas Technology platform.

Building native mobile apps using Canvas Technology is similar to building hybrid mobile apps. You can use the familiar Canvas components such as workspaces, sub-workspaces, apps (widgets), and forms using Canvas Studio to put together your app. However, there are differences between building native and hybrid mobile apps with respect to React Native coding using JavaScript and styling.
