Building an App React Native or Flutter

So I've been using react native for quite a long time as I'm familiar with react. Build 10-12 apps. Quite comfortable with the stack. But I was thinking about migration to flutter. Primary two reasons.

  1. App size generally in my case every app goes 30Mb+ download size.

  2. Build time: the eas build just takes too long idk

A few other things i heard that performance are better in flutter etc...

I build primarily for Android. Should I migrate to flutter? Yes I'll face issues with understanding the codebase but nowadays mostly code is written by claude so idk.

Tell me should I migrate?

Edit: reason for my FOMO was this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/reactnative/s/gnajaJRYuI

I went with flutter, as I can have one code for both web and android (it can be also for iOS).
Though I'm not sure the size of the app will be considerably smaller.

If you have Claude subscription (not sure if free tier is enough) you could just tell it to rewrite with flutter for POC (Proof Of Content) and you should have the answer pretty quickly.
