In the short-term it can work.

Over time maintenance becomes hard

New iOS and Android features, sometimes backward-incompatible are introduced.

And now, you need your dependencies to implement them. Which might or might not happen. At best, this makes usage inferior. At worst, you can no longer publish an update in app stores.

This app was started in 2017 and it is still running today and making (way more modest than back then) revenue. It’s just that I don’t work on it anymore.
