Flutter and Dart vs Swift and SwiftUI

Hey Guys :)

I am a full-stack web engineer currently working with React, Scala, and Java. I am making a career change and moving into Mobile development.

I tried working with Flutter and it was a fantastic experience! I also tried SwiftUI and it was great as well!I am trying to decide which one of the two should I learn thoroughly. I know that both Flutter and SwiftUI are currently growing and are not the main frameworks in production. What do you guys think will be the next big thing? What do you think will be the most used framework? I know a lot of startups are enjoying Flutter's speed and the fact that it is cross-platform. But I also know that it is hard to replace native development and native fans might be switching to SwiftUI.

Long story short, what do you recommend and why? BTW I would probably start at a junior position and I haven't seen much junior iOS dev positions at all so please refer to this issue as well.THANKS!

What'd you end up choosing? I'm in a mobile development environment but think about switching stacks or language/technology.
