Is Native iOS Development with Swift Still Worth It in 2025?

Focused on creating a high‑quality iOS app and want the best performance and tightest integration? I came across this article: Swift vs. Kotlin vs. Flutter in App Development: What to Choose?

After reading, I’m convinced that Swift is still the safest bet for a truly polished iOS app. Key reasons:

Maximum performance and responsiveness on iOS

Full access to latest Apple APIs/features

Strong support and stability from Apple

But is going native (Swift) justifiable when cross‑platform tools are so mature now? Would you pick Swift over Flutter (or Kotlin) if your app is iOS‑only?

What’s your take — is native iOS via Swift still the gold standard in 2025?
