Can you elaborate on the bloated part? I created a simple HN clone in React Native (without expo) and after publishing to Play Store, the app size was under 10MB.

Simple color picker app I made is 25MB. Even 10MB sounds pretty large for a simple app. But what I'm trying to say is more that I don't feel very hygienic considering using all these abstractions to develop a simple app, if I could just use the same C codebase to deploy for both platforms. Latter is technically possible, but nobody has created a framework around it similar to flutter or react-native. Flutter seems like the better option for the hygiene now though.
