The difference between native and cross-platform, in particular React Native, app development is mostly in performance, access to platform-specific features, and speed of delivery. React Native provides advantages like code sharing, easier access to skilled developers, and better time and effort consumption. While native apps commonly have superior performance and excessive utilization of device features and modules. So, if you're looking for cost-effective and swift development, choose React Native, and opt for native development if you need an application that fully utilizes the functions of the device, such as camera operation, or requires high performance.
