Isn't true native iOS development objective-C?

But yeah, this article is basically the same for me, only I'm an Android dev. I don't release anything on iOS. I probably would if it wasn't for that $100/year Apple dev fee. My stuff is free, so why should I pay Apple such a high fee. If I did write for iOS, I'd probably do Swift or SwiftUI at first to learn it. Then maybe I'd look at a cross-platform framework.

Metal is the last Framework that was designed Objective-C first, everything else now is focused on Swift.

However a big difference to Android, is that you don't see Objective-C shots from Swift team, as Kotlin/Compose folks do against Java (while using Java 8 as counter example, and ignoring the ecosystem Kotlin depends on), which has really put me off from Android.
