> I think it's best to write modules in Swift/(Kotlin/Java) and have your React Native UI communicate with your modules via the bridge.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just write everything in Flutter? The react + base swift modules looks like a maintainability nightmare, and especially consultants would never touch if the employee who wrote it ever left the company.

It’s difficult to pick flutter because Google has 0 goodwill left.

Even if flutter is good (and I don’t believe it’s all that great), you’re still taking a massive gamble adopting it, and that’s a huge leap that a significant portion of developers are not going to take.

Googles reputation for randomly ending the life of stuff makes flutter an impossible choice.
