How can I use async/await in mobile app development?

Async/await simplifies asynchronous code, making it easier to read and maintain. You can use it in mobile apps to handle tasks like API calls.

Can you give me an example of using async/await in a React Native app?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

async function fetchData() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
    const data = await response.json();
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  }
}

What are the benefits of using async/await over promises?

Async/await makes your code look synchronous, which improves readability. It also helps in error handling with try/catch blocks.

Are there any drawbacks to using async/await?

One drawback is that it can lead to unhandled promise rejections if not used carefully. Also, it may not be supported in older environments without transpilation.
