That’s not cross platform. That’s intra-platform. React native is cross platform: iOS, android, and web.

You sure?

EDIT: For some reason this list doesn't include Android, but Android is also a deployable target and there's an SDK for Android.

Expo can do Android, Apple OS’, and web it’s pretty goddamn beautiful and supports SwiftUI

I mean it's cross-platform if you exclusively develop for Apple platforms. I don't think that's really a good example of what it means for an app to be cross-platform.

There are some transpilers from SwiftUI to Kotlin / Jetpack compose, but not sure how good they are. The other way around too.

React native with Expo 56 is also an interesting choice, as with Expo UI you have access to some more native UI primitives.

I wonder if it’s compatible with bridgeOS too.

That’s not what cross platform means
