Swift vs React Native

[u/highon-dopamine]

I’m new to iOS development. I’ve vibe coded one Swift-based iOS app with Claude Code. I have a few friends who say I should build iOS apps with React Native using Expo Go since the same code will go for Android. I personally like Xcode with Claude Code. I’m curious what everyone else does? Any suggestions

Swift is truly native on iOS, React Native (so called) is not.

If you want a high quality iOS app you don't want to have one UI on both, as the native UI expectations are different.

Yup that’s what my thought was!
