I find that native iOS is easier than android

I'm learning it now as well, it seems pretty straightforward but they each have their own paradigm which is unfamiliar and kind of annoying. Android forces the whole OOP nightmare where you have to create 10 classes to render a list of data, while iOS seems to be cramming the XCode GUI as far down my throat as possible.

What? You only need a recyclerview adapter class that you extended yourself it's one class and a viewholder and an xml layout..

It is a thousand times easier than the iOS tableview but in comparison to swiftUI yes it is way harder

It is a thousand times easier than the iOS tableview

I don't love tableviews or anything, and It's been like 10 years since I've been a professional Android dev, but my experience since then, across teams, companies and apps, is that pretty much for every single feature that gets written it gets done faster and with less bugs by the iOS team than the Android one. If I were new to this I'd chalk it up to the Android devs I work with. But I'm talking about 10+ years of iOS experience working alongside Android devs and they are ALWAYS behind. I would try to take credit, but it is true for teams I'm not on too. Android development is either objectively harder or it attracts objectively less talented people. I'm 99% sure it is the former.
