Could you talk about why you decided to go native iOS and not use something like Flutter to allow you to go to both platforms from one codebase? I'm currently trying to figure out what to do for this idea I have for an app. One the one hand I really like Swift but on the other hand iOS adoption in my country is kind of low so not making an Android app seems kind of dumb. I absolutely hate the native Android SDK so that's definitely not an option.

Short answer: I'm a professional native iOS developer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Been doing this full-time for many years, so that's the area where I'm trying to make a splash with my personal projects at the moment. I'm by no means against cross-platform tools though, if it suits your product and your goals! It's easy for people like me, who are super embedded in the whole Apple ecosystem, to forget that iPhones aren't that common in many parts of the world.
