@ashfurrow Good talk. I saw the erosion you felt over time in many of our native engineers. I had the privilege to just not touch RN, but I was in a special team.
Just looked at RN.

They merged the UIScene support. But, of course:
> Scene-based apps must keep `UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes` set to `false` in Info.plist.
🤦♂️

I don’t like bringing up my immigration status (because I had it easy compared to many others). But if I had wanted to leave Artsy, I’d have had thirty days to find a new job or leave the country. It was not an easy decision, and not one I really embraced: https://ashfurrow.com/blog/swift-vs-react-native-feels/
@ashfurrow Oh no, that’s terrible. Yeah, US immigration laws are ridiculous. What I meant before was that decision-makers should also be aware of what effects choosing to move to RN has on existing and future native engineers. This is often overlooked or ignored by product and upper management. This was my experience in the company I worked in. Complaints fell on deaf ears, and there was a lot of frustration.
