Which is going to be hard. Xamarin these days is really nice to work with.



Perhaps, but for whatever reason React Native seems to still dwarf it. Maybe the companies that tend to churn out popular mobile apps just don’t invest in .NET?


React-Native has two significant pros that Flutter doesn't have.

Native UI. I heard multiple times now that Flutter drains the battery rather quickly because it doesn't use the highly optimized native UI elements.

JavaScript. There are more JavaScript developers out there than .NET ones. Also, the JS devs are much cheaper.

Another interesting pro is, you can use RN to develop basically everywhere. Expo (a RN framework) announced Web support, so you get Android, iOS, and Web out of the box. Microsoft announced UWP support and rewrote react-native-windows.


Well, it might be burned soil. Even in tech companies it's hard to convince the "decision-makers" to have another look at a technology that failed some years ago.

Also, you need some experienced people to look at new technology.
