Best language to build YouTube videos app?

Hello, I want to build an app (Android/ios/web) that shows YouTube videos.
I am a react native developer, but YouTube video librarys of react have a lot of bugs...
I am thinking in do a pwa, and create a react native webview, but idk if is the best solution.

Anyone have some tips?
😁

I'd build it on Flutter :D
PWAs usually don't provide good performance/user experience

flutter and react native is almost the same, right? Flutter has good librarys for youtube video?

Flutter is a bit different from React. The structure of code is similar, but Flutter is more near of the native programming. I'd say that... if you have some familiarity with native programming in Android or IOS it becomes easier.
