The ASAP SDK for mobile provides easy access to help end-users of your React Native app. Using this SDK, you can create and customize a help widget that resides within your app and provides end-users with easy access to the Help Center services:
• Customer support team (to raise tickets or chat with support agents)
• Knowledge Base (to access help articles)
• User Community (to interact with other app users)
React Native is a popular open-source framework for building iOS, Android, and other mobile applications. It is based on React, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. React Native allows developers to write mobile applications using only JavaScript, which makes it easier for web developers to transition to mobile development. It also allows developers to reuse code across multiple platforms, saving time and effort in the development process. React Native is known for its performance and native-like look and feel, which makes it a popular choice for building mobile applications.
