App developers of FC, do you prefer Expo or React Native? 

Looking to build a simple consumer social app with not many (if any) native iOS integrations.

Background: Haven’t built iOS apps since using Objective-C ~7 years ago. Want to avoid ramp up time of learning Swift.

It's worth exploring Kotlin Compose Multiplatform. The JetBrains team invented Kotlin and has great native performance on Android, desktop, and web, with iOS in development.

Unfortunately, it has basically zero traction. Flutter as a *framework* is more popular than Kotlin as a whole *language*.

Use with a lot of caution and understanding of its current state.

Sure! Take a look:

Flutter, a framework, 150k starts —  https://tinyurl.com/3phejwpr
Kotlin, a language, 44k stars — https://tinyurl.com/3y76a2yu

I'd love to see the GitHub metrics on that. 

It'd be hard to imagine Flutter has more adoption than Kotlin as a whole considering most big companies write native Android in Kotlin since 2017 when Google adopted Kotlin as Android's official language. That doesn't account for Kotlin server code which albeit is smaller.
