1Password 8 for IOS is not a native app anymore.

Hey seaghost. The majority of the user interface is built with SwiftUI with a little UIKit, and the backend is our core written in Rust. Have you had a chance to install the app yet? If so, what makes you feel it isn't native?
It’s very sluggish and looks like a web app. I’m sorry but my first reaction was that this app followed the path of desktop apps converted to JavaScript wrapped in Electron. Thanks for clarifying!
Thanks for sharing. Are there any particular tasks that are sluggish, or is it an overall feeling? What hardware are you running on?
It gets sluggish when scrolling through settings. I have an iPhone 12.
Thanks again. I haven't been able to reproduce that on my iPhone XS Max, but I have reported it to development for further investigation. We'll continue to optimize the app as we move toward a general availability release.
Thanks!
