so this isn't really an alternative to RN right now. As for basic features you have to know native development.



Flutter is very much in beta still for the next couple months at least, so you'd expect that.

If I was choosing between RN and Flutter as something to learn, assuming I had no prior experience in either, then Flutter is probably a better choice. I'm sure there are arguments both ways though, but Flutter is very 'solid' for lack of a better term.


Which basic features require native development?


background service

notification

sending intents "The other popular use-case for Intents is to call external components such as a Camera or File picker. For this, you would need to create a native platform integration (or use an existing plugin)."

UI isn't everything for all the apps


There are fluuter plugins (not third party) for notifications and intents. Background service can be tracked at this issue https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/3671
