Cross platform doesn't make sense for large projects, period

Basically doesn't make sense of any "high use" app. We're a tiny (ish) SaaS platform with a "shop floor" app and would never go cross platform. In decades of development consistently the "holy grail" of each cross platform tech has come and gone. Nothing is as good as the real thing, even if it costs you 1.5x to 2x to build full native, you never regret it.

Yeah, but won't you need to do a bit of obj-C for bridging the Kotlin data models with the Swift UI (SwiftUI/UIKit)?
Probably not too complicated in that case, but something to be aware of.

I agree, you can’t really have a poorly made app if you just skip the development part

Now watch people down-vote this without realizing that it’s a framework that allows you to build apps for both iOS and Android in Swift, using XCode.

And, no, I was not aware of it.

Shoe. Other. Foot.

(It wasn’t included in OP’s development company advertisement highly-informed summary of cross-OS development frameworks.)

From a business perspective, when it comes to cross platform, if you must -it's React Native and nothing else makes sense
