>Businesses are taking a mercenary’s accounting of their dual mobile teams (iOS and Android), and starting to realize that those phony-sounding dog-and-pony-show cross-platform development systems like Flutter and React Native have real teeth, and using them could cut their mobile team sizes in half, or alternately, make them twice as productive.
Is there much Flutter and React Native dev going on at big companies outside of Google and Facebook?
I know plenty of smaller companies are using them because they don't have what sometimes feels like near-infinite money to throw at mobile engineers, but I can't think of a single Big Name On Blind with iOS or Android position listings that mention Flutter or RN. They're all native.
Even at Google and Facebook, usage of either of their respective frameworks seems to be an exception and not the norm, and they're still just components in a larger native project. I wonder if the goal is to eventually re-write everything? But that seems impossible given the size of these applications' source.
