Thanks for sharing these resources,

Would love to hear your perspective on why pick Swift over React Native as its cross platform too

Happy to speak on that! I mostly wanted to dig into something I hadn't done before, with a whole new set of tools to learn. In this case, I had been super interested lately in the Apple ecosystem/platform. I'd spent some of my career in .NET/Windows land and got to see a bunch of stuff there and how it all worked, so I figured why not try out what Apple has to offer.

I also felt like since I have no real intent to try and turn what I'm learning into something that makes money, I could go a little crazy/niche and dig in.

This all being said, If someone asked me about making an app as something they want to release/make money off/turn into a company I'd fully be pointing them at tooling like React Native.
