Vitor is right when he says you don't want an iOS-looking app on Android and viceversa.

Flutter goes a long way to give you base themes for Android (Material) and Cupertino (iOS) both of which are very customizable. I do not know whether RN has an equivalent but he put both in the same basket so I'm clarifying.

As long as you respect basic HIG for each you are fine, navigation and inputs in particular. The latest iOS glass effect? Who cares. We got bigger fish to fry.

The world is going to the shitter and we need more apps out there faster.

There's also purplestack (early days but pretty decent). I'm not sure if you like AI-assisted coding though

Not really, but I'll use whatever tool works. Maybe I'll give purplestack a try. It would require abandoning my state management library

I get it. It's probably better than purplebase which doesn't support outbox right now.

You could try other tools to vibe some React Native app. It might just be good enough.

I received hundreds of complaints, requests and bug reports for Zapstore over the last 18 months. Not a single one had to do with Flutter not looking native.

Zapstore does look nice. I feel like iOS has a more distinctive look though
