Ask HN: Can a React Native app be integrated with CarPlay/Android Auto?

Hi there,

We're currently weighing up the pros and cons of switching over our iOS and Android apps to React Native, but would like to know whether we can integrate a React Native build with Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto?

Any others pros and cons are welcome.

Many thanks

Did you look at sharing extensions by any chance? I know it's not what you're asking, but I can assume the reasons why there's nothing for CarPlay/Android Auto are very similar.
