React Native and Swift are both used for iOS app development, but they serve different needs. Swift is Apple's native language, offering better performance and deep OS integration, while React Native allows for cross-platform development using JavaScript.
If you’re building a high-performance iOS app, Swift is the best option. If you need a single codebase for iOS and Android, React Native is the better choice.
Key Takeaways:
React Native → Best for cross-platform development and JavaScript developers.
Swift → Ideal for iOS-exclusive apps needing high performance.
Swift is more optimized for Apple’s ecosystem, while React Native offers faster cross-platform development.
