I guess we had a different experience - perhaps it is better now. my experience with native development was around 2014 with the objectiveC to Swift transition and that was its own hell - but I remember spending a lot of time, maybe 20-30% of my time I would guess, staring down weird build errors.

Oh yeah that period was rough. Xcode and Swift are a lot more stable these days. I guess my experience is also tainted by webpack-heavy JS work from years ago that was a dependency/tooling nightmare. It seems better now with the newer bundlers.
