Native all the way. With Ai-aided coding you can write and iterate on one platform and then port to the other. A couple of years ago I considerered diving into react or flutter, now I don’t see the need

It depends on the app. Are you going to have a custom UI (part of the app moat) or are you using standard UI. Custom can be cross platform.

Can you elaborate? I honestly interested, because I was using it for a basic app and didn’t have issue. Performance in Android was fine.

Probably native, especially with that freshly optimized tooling Xcode 27 seems to have.

Throughout my career the question of cross-platform vs. native was always a thing and, while good on paper, it was oftentimes leading to the smallest common denominator and therefore a lot of tradeoffs.

I was pondering that same question. I started my journey with Flutter, but abandoned it as I hit too many walls. I then fully committed to iOS native with SwiftUI and it's just one tight ecosystem where everything fits. I'm now building the same thing for native Android. Samesame, but different.

Native. Always ends up being the better experience, and now it's easier than ever maintaining two repos.
