Build a React Native drawing app with PencilKit

Apple's PencilKit API offers developers a framework to integrate Apple Pencil functionalities like drawing, handwriting recognition, and pressure sensitivity into iOS applications, enhancing the user experience with natural and intuitive digital content creation. Although PencilKit isn't natively supported in React Native applications, the article provides a detailed guide on how to bridge native iOS code to implement PencilKit in a React Native project. It involves setting up a React Native project, creating a native UI component in iOS, and exporting native methods to JavaScript, allowing functionalities such as clearing the canvas and saving drawings to be accessible in the app. Additionally, PKToolPicker is introduced to enhance user interaction with customizable drawing tools. Despite the extra steps needed to incorporate PencilKit into React Native, the integration provides significant value to app developers by offering a rich, engaging experience for users.
