Is React Native dying?
I have been a React Native developer for more than 5 years. I love it, it is a great way to build cross-platform applications. Nowadays, a ton of mobile applications use it, Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, Tesla, Coinbase, Discord, Skype, Uber Eats, and … (see the whole list).
Yesterday, William had a stream to show Skia(a C++ library for 2D graphics that is used in Chrome and Flutter) in React Native. Yes, you can use Skia in React Native and it is awesome!!!!
2022 is definitely a great year for React Native. JSI, Skia, Reanimated2, Concurrent Rendering, and New Architecture are big news. Buttttttt
Is React Native dying!?
Compared to Flutter, one thing I see in my React Native community is that they think Facebook has left it and doesn't have plans to support or make it better. The community is supporting it, not Meta. It caused a lot of developers to migrate to Flutter.
What do you think? Is Facebook(Meta) killing React Native? Please, share your ideas. Also, read the comments, there are tons of great comments.
UPDATE: Oct 2023
No, it is not dying! It is alive and continues perfectly. As a lot of developers mentioned in the comment section, Flutter is at its hype phase.
Flutter was at its hype phase. Finally, RN and Flutter shared the market. There is no hype phase for both platforms.
