>Being able to share UI and code on Android and iOS is still a desire for many developers. As hinted throughout the post, I think React Native may be the only other possible contender. I have been a codenameone developer for 8 years now. On Android you run java and on ios you run static c which comes from the java code itself Shai Almog and Steve Hannah have done a great job at making cn1 a comprehensible platform to develop on mobile. All the issues listed on this post are covered (scrolling with inertia, Android file system updates, etc) I don't know how successful cn1 is in terms of users but I wish it were more popular on places like HN where React Native/Flutter is the bread and butter

Wrong Flutter has beaten React Native in terms of developers and apps and firms using the framework.

  Is there any solid proof of this? It seems that Flutter is not used in any notable apps and React Native is used even by the big players in the field. I have yet to see a single high quality app made with Flutter and literally the only app I’m using that is made with it is the one I’m working on. React Native seems massively popular in comparison. It really feels that the stats that show Flutter being popular are not really measuring real life use. The Flutter ecosystem seems especially tiny and it has close to no support from 3rd parties, even Google treats Flutter as a second class platform when it comes to libraries like Google Ads.
