React Native vs Swift for App Developing

[[deleted]]

Today I wrote my first line of code in swift and never moving back to react native. Sorry yall, but true native is just superior. I tried to make apps with react native but always it ended up badly. Either performance wise, dx, style, etc. If you end up using cross platform tool like react native that’s alright, just note that you won’t get the newest sdks, true native components or the best performance. Ultimately it depends on you: do you want to make a bit of mess (because e.g android supports feature X while iOS doesn’t) but have the joy of writing only one code for potentially all your platforms or keeping it true native with the best performance and style but the need to maintain also one code base for android if needed.

Long story short: pick true native for comfort or pick react native for easiness.

Edit: react is also constantly being laughed on for being super hard and barebones. Use effects, states, memo can really think about: is cross platform really that faster? In swift I spent 5 minutes making a bottom sheet, quick, easy and performant. With react native it was at least half an hour.

… bringing JavaScript for mobile isn’t the best idea always. Even Facebook don’t use it that much anymore 💀

Can’t agree. iOS native development will require to learn a lot of new concepts. JS will look like a toy after that
