Flutter

Flutter is Google’s mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.:heart_eyes:

Resources

• Flutter Official Documentation
• Build Native Mobile Apps with Flutter by Google [Free]
• Learn Flutter & Dart to Build iOS & Android Apps [Paid]

React Native

With React Native, you don't build a "mobile web app", an "HTML5 app", or a "hybrid app". You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C or Java. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
