I think it would unfair not to mention how terrible the whole build process of react native apps are and the absolute madness of js dependencies :) recently even facebook ditched react native in favour of native swift application due to how bloated react native has become (infoq.com/news/2020/03/facebook-me...).

In flutter, on the other hand, you can have static typing, good build tools and excellent language in general. While I am not a mobile developer, I could read and write Dart without looking at language docs so there's very little learning curve. While starting with react native is quite difficult as you have to understand many tools that try to work under the hood to make it happen and then if you try building some more complex application, you will definitely encounter many weird issues :)
