Personally, I'm more into Kotlin ๐Ÿ˜…even for a cross-platform app (with Kotlin multiplatform). For an Android only app, Kotlin is great, simple to code and use (especially if you know Java).
Most people say Kotlin has a smaller community than React-Native and so this is more complex to find an answer to a question but since Google change, almost the entire documentation in Kotlin, and a lot (lot lot lot) of people use it now that isn't that difficult to find an answer!
Also Kotlin = less code = less tests

For the end-user its result to a lighter application, better usage of the battery and, maybe it's only me, a smoother flow ๐Ÿ˜„
