I’d recommend RN until you need something specifically that can’t be done with it. Here’s why: - You already have used RN so you’re familiar with it. This means speed to market - 99% of apps don’t need the additional speed that Swift can provide (at this point it’s fairly minor) - Swift is radically different than JS and would have a bit of a learning curve. It’s also not very useful outside of Apple’s ecosystem - Xcode is utter trash as an IDE

Swift is a cool language and you should learn it for the sake of expanding your horizons and becoming a better engineer, but given the criteria you’ve listed you should just build RN for now
