I found this true in my case too. The API/Framework was the thing I had to learn.

As far as React Native, I can't see it being used seriously. I think teams are going to have to know native iOS and/or Android programming anyway.

But seeing the mass of apps that never live beyond a year, maybe React Native is just the thing.

No one is doubting that you'll need people who know iOS and Android ecosystem. But React isn't just a wrapper over native views. It's a fundamentally different way to write up applications compared to the way you work your way around states and UI.
