I wrote every single line of the react native app we ported, and maintained it for 9 years. So suffice to say, I'm familiar with the code.
But I am going to always prioritize the user experience over a developer (like myself)'s need for satisfaction to see code. And a pure native app is _always_ going to behave better than react native.
This gives me a chance to do that.

Maybe iOS is better about consistency, but I've used enough horribly made Android apps that I would not expect one that's vibe coded to behave better than a professionally made react native version.
I would if it were based on the RN version. RN is kind of okay on iOS, but really shitty on Android. Would be difficult to be _worse_.
That said, I do recommend reading the code the LLM produces whether you understand the language or not. What better time to learn?
Maybe. Android might still be a mess, fair point.

You are familiar with the React Native code, you are not familiar with the Swift or Kotlin code, and likely nobody on your team is, since the AI wrote all of it for you.
