We switched to Flutter, works great for IOS and Android, but the website is trash.
I tried Flutter and hated it. It was buggy (there's thousands of post on the internet saying that you have to do 'rm ios/Podfile && flutter build ios' and similar. the build breaks often and standard solution is 'turn it off and on again'), the components library is too verbose and not nice to work with, the support was bad (as in open a bug report with example repo and they would react after 6 months) and everything that's not 'hello world' was complicated or impossible (like writing tests). I'm definitely not using it again.
We had a third party do the development, it worked out really well. At some point I'll need to learn it when we take it over.
