We (our company) does everything native.
Android -> Kotlin/Java
iOS -> Swift

We believe that only then we can provide the best possible apps to clients that closely interact with the system and follow the UI/UX guidelines for each platform. Android and iOS might have different behaviour for certain things (for example navigating back).

Absolutely correct. I seen React Native code littered with platform-specific if-else.

Right? Why use React Native or Futter if the main programing languages for iOS/Android are Swift/Kotlin or Java?

It’s like wanting to drive a Porsche, but going for a Ford, because why not? It’s still a car.
