Choose a Development Platform
Let’s choose a development platform.
You.i Platform allows you to develop and deploy video apps across multiple platforms with a single code base. The You.i Platform SDK supports React Native app development on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Consider your target platforms when choosing your development environment. In some cases, you’ll need to have all three development platforms available for packaging, deployment, and debugging your targeted deployment platforms.
You’ll notice that we split the platform information into “target platforms” and “development platforms.” You.i Platform supports final distribution to end users on the listed target platforms. Development platforms are supported only for development, testing, debugging, and packaging.
