React Native vs Flutter - Which should you use?

Should you use Expo or Flutter for your next project? Both frameworks look awesome from the outside - but let's take a closer look at what makes Flutter and React Native appealing and when you should use which technology.

You truly reveal the reality of React Native, the parts that many YouTubers either don't show or perhaps don't know. Thank you, Simon. From the moment I watched your first video, I couldn't stop; I watched all your shorts and videos. Whether sponsored or not, you spread genuine knowledge incredibly fast and effectively.

As you mentioned Code Push in this video, I realized I've seen many videos on it but never grasped the real logic or usage behind it. Please, create a short video on Code Push. Your tutorials are the most efficient, fast, and reliable, with transitions and animations that are simply amazing.

If you have any free time, please consider making a Code Push video. It's a common challenge for many, myself included. Thank you so much, Simon Grimm, for helping me and countless others learn. May you continue to achieve endless success. God bless you with more and everlasting success.

They are all good. I think it is skill that makes a difference

Simon Grimm when making a comparison be honest, no matter which side you are on, guys flutter can be a good choice for cross-platform development we have many billion dollar companies that use flutter like Tencent, Nubank, BMW, EBay and more, flutter grows quickly day by day, both are good whether flutter or react native, don't be afraid to choose one or the other.

[ecupowerable]

What do you think or flutterflow ans draftbit?,

[Maestrotoy]

Well defined. You're the best true mentor.tbh

[abubakernawaz]

I have worked with both frameworks. Tooling for both frameworks is good now (i still think RN has bit better tooling). But flutter performance is mind-blowing compare to react native. I will only use react native if company stack is build around javascript and company has some pre-build reusable components.
If i have a choice i will go with flutter. That is a fact because of simplicity and performance out of box. 🎉

can you talk about compose multiplatform?

[mycloudvip]

Hi Simon! What is the easiest way to share a project that is being developed on Expo with clients who you want to preview the progress of the app.

[webtm]

I'm not able to export my app from react native project

[mahersafadii]

the transition in the my bmw app isn't using the new fixed one, flutter updated the page transition animation curve to match the native one, I use the new one and it matches the native one 100%.

[lingais]

as an amateur dev, video player sucks on both Flutter and RN. but RN has better support and options.

[giorbismiguel]

Learn both and also switch and Kotlin, the best opportunities in both required knowledge of native platform.

[gofullstack]

6:15 Wouldn't you say something that does compile to Machine Code isn't Native? Would you say it isn't Native because it doesn't depend on the Platform to render what you see on the screen? I get real confused when it comes to this.

14:28 Eric Seidel is one of the founders of Flutter and is also one of Shorebird. Maybe Simon hasn't heard of it and doesn't know it is your go-to for Code Push in Flutter.

[XavierTheRapper]

All the Flutter apps I've encountered have been terrible. It could be the developers behind them, but I'll stick with React Native CLI and Swift any day.

[arun]

Thanks! out of curiosity, what's the tattoo on your left arm?

14:25 flutter has shorebird for over the air updates
