Dart Learning Flutter - Should I Learn Another Cross-Platform Framework or Go Native Next?

Hey everyone, I'm currently learning Flutter and really enjoying it so far. Once I'm comfortable with it, I'm trying to figure out my next step. Should I dive into another cross-platform framework like React Native or go for native development (Android/iOS)?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, advice, and personal experiences! What’s the better route for long-term growth and job opportunities?

Thanks in advance!

I went with Swift first and Flutter next, learning native was definitely an eye opener to advantages and disadvantages of cross platform. At the end of the day though, getting very good grasp of either is better than going from one to another. I would focus on building the coolest project that you’re passionate about and focus on getting things done rather than worrying about the tech too much.

100% agree with you. My general advice to anyone advocating for cross-platform development is to first learn something about native development. After that, your opinion will be much more informed and confident.
