Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin

Shopify was one of React Native’s biggest champions, and it’s now going back to Swift and Kotlin. Their reasoning: coding agents have removed most of the cost of building features twice, while native still has the platform advantages. The Shop app went from proof of concept to a native rebuild in the stores in 12 weeks. Expect other teams to rethink cross-platform tradeoffs the same way.
