Welcome to DEV Marlon! Interesting that you use both React Native and Xamarin - what do you think about the difference between the two? Which is your favorite?
Well, I personally prefer React Native, but it's probably because I'm just more used to it since I develop in RN for quite some time more than I do in Xamarin. The company where I currently work mostly used and gives preference to Microsoft technologies so since Xamarin was acquired by Microsoft they just grabbed it
React Native community is much bigger and I feel like I can rely on it more than I can on the Xamarin community (github can prove what I'm saying). On the other hand, I have a feeling that Xamarin is less likely to throw errors out of nowhere and it is more stable. One thing I dislike about React Native is that it gets updated very often, which is for a good reason, but that usually causes libraries that you're used to using on the environment to break due to incompatibilities.
Hey everyone, I'm new here and trying to figure out how to use this DEV thing. I am simply in love with the layout haha.
I'm currently working with React, React Native and Xamarin. Well, just passed by to say hi!

Thanks for the insight! Yeah, that's the one thing I don't like about React Native :) - it's no fun when updates break libraries...
