Why has Shopify dropped React Native?
I guess development time got down with AI, even when running agents in parallel to implement that feature on both platforms. On the other side, that time saved will now be spent on QA since every platform has it's quirks and it still needs to be confirmed everything works well on both. With RN I would trust it more when it's implemented it runs fine on both platforms
