Makes sense. Flutter has a good reputation - I've heard mostly positive things.

For me, I had bad experiences with React Native in the past and already built another iOS app in Swift. Knew the ecosystem, liked SwiftUI, so sticking with native felt right. Less context switching, and I can use Apple frameworks directly – MusicKit for Apple Music integration and native offline playback would've been painful to wrap.

Cross-platform definitely makes sense for many projects – just wasn't the right fit for me this time.

Recently Skip got open source, so perhaps you can even make an android application out of it?

Thoughts?

Interesting, hadn't seen Skip before. SwiftUI to Android sounds promising.

Bookmarked – will look into it. Still hoping native Swift for Android matures, but Skip could be a good middle ground. Thanks for the pointer!
