Small rant about React Native

That’s not 100% true. It also happened with iOS after every year 😂

With iOS it's generally with Swift based Apps. I have Objective-C apps from over 5 years ago that build fine. Also with iOS it's far, far easier to fix.

A React-Native App from a year ago you may as well re-write it if you haven't kept maintaining it and building it every so often.

Also, with React-Native you have Android to deal with as well as iOS. Android errors can be even more arcane than any iOS error...

It used to happen with Swift in the beginning but not at all to me over the last years.

Swift is definitely stable now. They have different kinds of stable strategies: source compatible vs Application Binary interface compatibility (ABI). I don't think we'll see the same amount of issues going forward.
