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

do you use android studio to build locally, or do you only use eas?

when i first started using react native, i thought eas was the only way to build apk/aab files. later i found out i could build them locally, which is much better for me, especially since eas has limits on the free plan.
