It'll be interesting to see how much it will affect React Native apps as it gets more and more optimized for this use case
At one point I really thought that Flutter would outclass it but typical Google project stuff has really put a damper on it from all I can see.
It’s not better than native apps, but as far as cross platform GuIs go it’s still very very good
Flutter is amazing, but they really shot themselves in the foot with Dart (and I say that as someone who doesn't mind Dart).
As a React Native developer for, what, 6 years, I don’t have much positivity left to offer. Bug reports to the core team that went nowhere, the Android crash on remote images without dimensions, all the work offloaded to Expo, etc.
Google couldn’t really done better, maybe Flutter should’ve become independent after the initial release.
That it is also the only real use case for Dart also doesn’t help matters.
While I agree the technology is very good and in some cases superior it doesn’t have a path to stable funding, seemingly. Google laid off a big chunk of Dart and Flutter teams last year, and there is no Expo to pickup the slack.
While Meta could do the same for React Native, Expo has always been there to pick up the slack and it receives bigger community support from the community too. For example Shopify has a few great well maintained RN libs
