> Why not ionic react? https://ionicframework.com/blog/announcing-ionic-react/ https://ionicframework.com/blog/announcing-ionic-react/ React Native uses the Native Components of the platform for UI. Thus Native. Ionic React is basically a web app, this is Ionic with React instead of Angular. So basically React Native == use native GUI components. Ionic React = uses HTML/CSS in a webview embedded in a Native App, just like Phone Gap/ Cordova, Ionic is just a framework on top of HTML/CSS, React Native is not.

No, most React Native apps use the Native platform UX, that's the point of using React Native. As for plugin access, well I don't see how Ionic React solves anything, since a plugin by definition needs to be developed in the native language of the platform (Java or Swift).
