RN styling is pretty much modern CSS styling using Flexbox.
Good
mobileUX design is independent of what framework you are using. If you want to start adding animations and such, then you need to dive more into the RN ecosystem, but to just make something that is visually pleasing, learn basic design principles.Pick up a copy of Design for Hackers. Yes it is a large book, but UX is a field people get a 4+ year degree in!
Same author, you can sign up for his online course.
After you understand the basics, Google's Material Design page can then give you insight as to how larger companies think about design.
Knowing what a visual hierarchy is, how to create it, and how to purposefully direct the user's eye around is fundamental though. It is the difference between an app that is easy to use an an app that is frustrating to use. It is also the difference between a landing page that converts and a landing page that doesn't convert!
Drop shadows and rounded borders and even icons go in and out of style, but good use of typography, not over-using colors, and good visual hierarchy are universally fundamental to all good design.
Edit: Best $ I ever spent was paying a good designer to give me UX guidelines.
I personally just ordered learning react native. Im excited to get my hands on it, it looks like a great resource.
The best MobX resource I've found is MobX Quick Start Guide, which is conveniently written by Michel Westrate himself.
I can recommend a book: React Native Blueprints: https://www.amazon.com/React-Native-Blueprints-cross-platform-applications/dp/1787288099/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1517923899&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=react+native+blueprints&psc=1
It is up to date, and each chapter revolves around building one application.
I tried doing this for 30 minutes with /u/jonnyburger's technique below, using my portable bluetooth keyboard and a Pixel XL, and it's not that bad of an experience in landscape mode.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.
