FAQs
Flutter vs React Native in 2026?
Flutter leads for new projects; React Native remains strong where JS teams exist.
Can I ship a real app with FlutterFlow alone?

Yes, if they follow App Store Review Guidelines. AI-assisted is the norm.
Best AI for Swift?
Xcode 16+ native assistant plus GitHub Copilot for broader support.
Is ASO still important?
Critical — 65% of installs come from App Store search.
How long to launch an MVP?
With AI: 2–6 weeks solo. Traditional: 3–6 months.
