Yep. Building native for both platforms is becoming easier and easier with MVVM, SwiftUI, and Jetpack Compose.


After 10+ years of Android development I honestly feel like I am cheating when writing UI code using Compose these days.

Also do Dart/Flutter development along side it and.... they (D/F) just feel so damn verbose and messy by comparison.

edit: I can also mirror what the author of the article mentions. Any update in OS versions or the Flutter framework can seriously cripple some of the packages that you'll need to use in order to make a functioning application. Massive time will be spent hunting down the weirdest issues.

But to be fair, that can also happen on the native side. They are usually just much easier to find and fix.


Just a PSA that some people like a healthy distance in a friendship and there is nothing wrong with that :)


On the user-side, using private email relays (i.e. Apple's Hide My Email, AnonAddy, etc) mostly eliminates this issue.
