(Cross Multi) Platform

Native vs Cross-Platform

• Less people, reduced org scaling problems

Eventually - you will hire half somebody

React Native (RN)

• js/ts
• js VM (debug: V8, prod: JSC/Hermes)
• js<->native bridge (soon JSI)
• js-only (logic) updates pos (CodePush)
• UI: js (soon Fabric)
  • native Android/iOS
  • RN Paper (Material Design Android/iOS)

Flutter

• Dart
• no VM (prod)
• Dart<->native bridge
• UI: canvas (component updates have no effect)
  • Material Design (Android/iOS)
  • Cuptertino (native iOS)

same design/UI for Android/iOS

Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM)

• write native ez
• no VM
• business logic, no UI
• keep native UI
  • no eco, works w native platform eco's
  • SwiftUI / Jetpack Compose
• no intermediate layer
  • no interop bottlenecks

lots of business logic and the design is easy to achieve
