I was asked this

How do you handle iOS and Android differences in one React Native codebase?

🔮 Predict the output

// How Platform.select picks a value
const makeSelect = (os) => (spec) => (os in spec ? spec[os] : spec.default);
for (const os of ["ios", "android", "web"]) {
  const select = makeSelect(os);
  console.log(os, select({ ios: "shadowOpacity", android: "elevation", default: "boxShadow" }));
}
