Being familiar with JavaScript did you consider something like React Native over Swift?

I actually started with React Native but soon realized the limitations and switched to Swift. Learning Swift and shipping the app was definitely faster than trying to figure out how to do X in react native and make it work properly.

I think React Native is good if you're building database apps but when you want to leverage the device capabilities like camera, Bluetooth etc, going native is the best option.

I wonder if this is the kind of app you can "never" properly write in a cross-platform way...
