Reasons to use Flutter/Dart:

  * no (or less) native platform quirks/differences
  * better programming model than Android SDK
  * good performance
Reasons to use React Native:

  * uses native widgets (if that matters to you)
My recommendation, write your portable app using Flutter/Dart. If that's not satisfactory, call that your Android version and write an iOS in Swift.

Do not fool yourself into thinking either Flutter or React Native will give you native app performance. It can be as fast but the pauses are in different places and users can definitely feel the difference even if they can't articulate it.
