>Allow me to preface this by saying that React Native sets out to solve problems I don’t think are very interesting to solve. In particular I don’t think that sharing a single UI between disparate platforms is desirable from any perspective that isn’t cost savings and that even from that perspective it’s dicey.

Allow me to disagree. Mobile development is a mess these days. Doing stuff in React native is way easier than native (when there is a module that implements what you want), so most of the time you do things (a lot) faster. Sure, react native needs a lot of work and stop breaking things every single version they update and the modules need to step up in quality. I hope with the fabric rewrite, things get much better.

Totally agree with you about React Native being easier for me anyway. I would love if accessibility was more built in. The original author submitted a PR for a basic bit of integration that looks fine but is being blocked from merging by a lint thing.
