GR00T 2: Scaling robot foundation models for generalization, dexterity

We moved one of our apps away from RN to SwiftUI and Android (Jetpack Compose). The binaries are way smaller, and the apps work beautifully.

So I don't see any reason to stick to RN, when we can just use any OS native APIs to our heart's content and our apps automatically feel more native.

For the exact same reasons you chose in it the first place: experience with React to build a single codebase for different platforms.

If AI allows you to build your native apps and keep 2 different, growing code bases in parity without needing native dev experience, then use AI. But my point of the original comment is that those decisions are different at smaller companies than Shopify. There is no free lunch.

I am saying that my repo now has iOS and Android folders, and when I request a new feature, Claude builds it in both languages and tests in both simulators.

And that can work for a company of any size.
