> the new shiny thing that’s too immature for production use

Both Android (e.g. Jetpack Compose, new privacy centric storage APIs that we are now forced to use) and iOS (SwiftUI) have this. I guess we'd need to list them down and compare.

> iOS SDK is both generally more capable

Yes, Apple provide more higher level functionality, at the expense of flexibility. Android also provides higher level features, but these are provided in external libraries which you can package in your app. When it comes to auxiliary features though (e.g. machine learning), I think Apple does the high level APIs much better. Android's features are quite a bit buggy.



Pity that those external libraries tend to get rotten without any path forward, e.g. SceneForm.
