Tech giants and startups alike have been taking advantage of React Native technology to create native mobile apps with JavaScript and JSX. So, if you’re looking to build your own mobile app, you’ve probably considered using React Native as well. But what if you could go one step further and create an app that could run both on iOS and Android? That’s where Flutter comes in! Flutter is Google’s answer to React Native and it’s making waves in the tech world thanks to its versatility, ease of use, and cross-platform capabilities.

The need for cross-platform native apps
Android, iOS, Windows Phone — you name it. The need to develop native apps across platforms has never been higher. Whether it’s a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) app or an elaborate single-page application (SPA), companies are searching for ways to keep their businesses on all major mobile platforms. In fact, according to Vision Mobile1, 84% of developers prefer developing in one language cross-platform over developing native apps individually. Clearly then, we know that delivering apps natively on various platforms using different programming languages can prove to be costly and time-consuming. So what can we do? We came up with React Native.
The future of Xamarin development
I’ve noticed a lot of people wondering what Xamarin will do after Microsoft buys them. Well, to answer that question I reached out to my contacts at Xamarin and got some official answers. The company has released a press release confirming that they’ll continue to operate as an independent division inside of Microsoft and we can look forward to more of everything - more tools, frameworks, integrations, etc. That’s good news since I think Xamarin offers some great technology.

What are your choices now?
Mobile app development has come a long way since its first generation in 2007. The three choices on offer include React Native, Google's Flutter and native iOS/Android languages like Java, Swift and Kotlin. All three have their respective pros and cons, but each can be used to build high-quality mobile apps that perform well. The question is which one you should use when—and why? Here are three answers to that question.
Pros and Cons of Different App Development Options
While React Native has gained ground in recent years, most developers today still opt to develop using native code. Why? First of all, developing a cross-platform mobile application with native code saves a lot of time. There’s no need to write separate applications for each platform because a single one will run on every major platform (iOS, Android, and Windows). That said, there are some drawbacks to developing natively—namely that you have to learn how to build apps in each operating system separately. Also, keep in mind that it’s easier to find experienced developers if you’re looking for help building an iOS app. If you do want your application developed with React Native or Flutter instead of native code, there are options out there.
The Choice between React Native and Flutter Apps
React Native and Flutter offer high-quality native user experiences, but in many ways, they are also different. In fact, these two platforms are not directly comparable. It’s similar to comparing ReactJS with VueJS. They share some similarities and differences in terms of scope, capability, and user base. What factors should you consider when deciding between these two technologies? Well, there are many variables to weigh up; understanding them will help you make an informed decision about which tool would be most suitable for your use case. The major factors affecting your decision are listed below
Wrap Up
To conclude, both React and Flutter are great tools that can help you develop a solid mobile application. Depending on your requirements, you can choose which one would work best. It all comes down to what works better with your team and project as they both have their own unique pros and cons. For example, React Native has been tried and tested multiple times, while there are still issues that need to be worked out in flutter.
