> you will have to use the design guidelines and native elements of every platform This is exactly what react native does. It uses native components (there is a cross-platform abstraction, or you can use the platform-specific components directly) and you implement the design guidelines in platform specific files: https://reactnative.dev/docs/platform-specific-code https://reactnative.dev/docs/platform-specific-code > but not the views themselves Without the views, why would it be in react native?

You can even target specific architectures and/or devices as it uses the native sdks behind the scenes.
