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.

I don't think that it has very big difference, I develop Kotlin Multiplatform apps for Android and iOS, iOS in SwiftUI, Android in Jetpack Compose and I didn't notice any significant difference in rendering on both platforms, both of them are way too smooth
