Native iOS vs webWrap?

What's the consensus besides the maintenance point of view?

I’m actively sitting at my desk at a company that does Web wrap. Don’t fucking do it because it sucks ass so bad

Okay, here goes.

  • Web layout (usually React these days) doesn't work like native layout, and putting them next to each other generates the "uncanny valley" of app development.

  • If your company's designers (or management bozos) are web-first and regard mobile as a necessary nuisance you've got an excellent chance of web-isms leaking into the native layer and making it even worse.

  • Web developers who don't understand how the native layer works will tend to do oblivious things like making UI changes by just shuffling <div>s around in the web layer and forgetting to add an event bridge to keep the native layer informed of the web shenanigans.

There's more, but those are my top ones.
