How I like to think of Cross-Platform vs Native - Pros/Cons Flutter is doing great, but if you want native primitives (navigation, iOS Liquid Glass, native inputs, the full text-handling stack on iOS and Jetpack), React Native is the better fit. It renders real native components and uses JS as the orchestrator. If your app needs a highly custom, brand-driven design, Flutter is the stronger cross-platform choice. React Native also makes it easy to write native modules for specific features and call them from JS (via Nitro or Expo Modules). Think native for performance-critical or complex logic, and JS/React for UI and data. Fully native makes sense for larger teams with the budget and tokens to maintain two codebases. Cross-platform will get you most of the way there, and you can go native later if you need to and can afford it.
