Because its easier to write one piece to code to target two platforms, regardless of how good or bad the native language for each platform is?

It’s also just nicer to work with in addition to having all of the multi platform stuff taken care of you for free.

Is Flutter more popular than React Native now?

I think that’s been true for quite some time now

Not pulling the "citation needed" thing at all, genuinely curious (from anyone who might know), is that 1/3 number accurate? Is there data published on it anywhere? That feels like monumental news :-D

many thanks!

28% of ”free new apps”, whatever that means, measured by someone who’s not Apple (so lacking the actual numbers).

Don’t get mad about it but a lot of people want to work with Flutter because they think is better for any number of reasons. The data is what it is.

There are plenty of contradicting data, like the job market for Flutter being close to nil, if it was any relevant 30% of the App Store you would throw a rock and hit five Flutter developers.

And nobody’s mad.
