Out of curiosity why not look at Flutter? I know you don't get native look-and-feel, but most apps are branded who cares?

this AI stuff is goin crazy

Too late. My kids called the app Stop-ify because it was so unreliable. Switched to Apple music and won't go back. On Android!

It's not surprising. Code is cheap nowadays because of AI. I reckon more companies will follow suit.

"native" shouldn't be capitalized in the title

the reason what I believe is that, AI can understand react very well. so It can be beneficial for Shopify

Web based mobile made sense pre AI. It is just simpler now to use different languages and have AI implement features across the board.
