I am confused now … Google android is shifting us to move from xml/designer tool to code (jetpack compose) whereas Google Flutter starts with “design ui with code” and now they are developing ui designer tool (Adobe XD)

Sure. Right now you can do that with multiplatform afaik.
But as with likely every multiplatform framework you have to use platform-specific API at some point.
It’s an incredible amount of work to hide all those platform-specific details behind one common framework.

That’s no different for Flutter, React Native or the other ones

It’s still experimental for a reason, so don’t use it in production.
I’ve tried, and it cost me a lot of time 😄
