What should developers do? #appdesign #coding **[Code with Beto](https://daily.dev/sources/codewithbeto)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Coinbase is moving its consumer trading app off React Native to fully native development using Swift and Kotlin, according to a senior engineering manager at the company. The commentary argues that AI coding tools have made it cheaper to implement native logic across platforms separately, and encourages React Native developers to spend a day or two building with SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose using AI assistance to see how transferable their mental models are. Despite this and other companies leaving React Native, the framework is expected to remain relevant thanks to the React Foundation and Expo team's continued investment and its strong community. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why is Coinbase moving away from React Native? Coinbase is taking its consumer trading application fully native, migrating off React Native to Swift and Kotlin. The move was announced by Adam Wolf, a senior engineering manager at Coinbase, as part of a broader trend of companies shifting away from cross-platform frameworks toward native development. _Developers weighing React Native against native stacks can follow real-world migration decisions like this on daily.dev._ ### Is React Native still worth learning given companies are leaving it for native development? Yes, React Native is expected to remain relevant for many companies and teams, with continued improvement driven by the React Foundation and the Expo team, backed by a strong community. Some companies like Coinbase are moving to fully native apps, but that does not mean React Native is being abandoned industry-wide. _Teams deciding between React Native and native development can track these shifting recommendations on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#mobile](https://daily.dev/tags/mobile), [#ai-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-coding), [#react-native](https://daily.dev/tags/react-native), [#swiftui](https://daily.dev/tags/swiftui), [#coinbase](https://daily.dev/tags/coinbase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/coinbase-is-leaving-react-native-what-should-developers-do-appdesign-coding-secozndgm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Coinbase is leaving React Native.
