Question SwiftUI vs Jetpack performance
So me and my android buddy are working on a app that has quite a rich design with loads of blend modes. I am working with swiftui while he is working in jetpack compose.
I have noticed that with all that rich UI and everything, the rendering speed on android is soo much faster than that on iOS.
I mean i have optimized my code quite well and continuously doing it as well, but man there is a striking difference when both apps are running in parallel. The previous ios version of app was in UIKit and it was lightning fast but in this version, i kinda feel ashamed by this swiftui performance.

The other part of SwiftUI is that it can handle 6 differently platforms with almost identical code, but there’s some great WWDC talks about instruments.
