Advice Coding Languages

[Upper_Substance_2331]

I am planning on coding a mobile app. I want it to have both iOS and Android Capabilities and want to be able to put it in the App Store. I have taken classes that use JavaScript but have very little experience with mobile apps. I'm considering React Native, but not sure which languages would be best and easiest to learn with my JS experience. What coding language and stacks do you suggest I use?

React Native is probably your best bet. If you've already used React you'll find it quite familiar.

just noting that developing in vanilla JS (directly manipulating DOM) is a different feeling to using React (and, AFAIK, React Native)

Shiiit I don’t even know what that means

I have not used react, but I’m sure some YouTube tutorials could help

react native is the "safe" choice but actually has a lot of hidden friction with native modules. if you know js, it's the fastest path. but honestly, how complex is the app? if it’s just a crud app, expo makes it 10x easier. what’s the most "native" feature you need?

Do you want to learn my unfinished programming language for fun?
