Is it possible to code an iOS app with React Native in Xcode? I like the xcode UI better than vscode for mobile so I was wondering if there's a possibility, not talking about simulating cause that's all what I was getting when searching this on Google I'm talking about actually coding React Native in Xcode IDE. Thanks

Myself and a team are starting a potential startup and one of the things we want to do is a mobile app. We have already identified the target audience to mainly be iPhone users. But here in the US there's still plenty of Android user so we've been considering using a cross platform framework like Flutter. I've seen a lot of praise that Flutter is easy to use and can help us deliver an MVP faster. My ideal situation is to start developing with Flutter and when the app is successful migrate it to a native iOS app using Swift. But is that possible at all? Or if we decide to go native when we already have a flutter app, do we need to start from scratch?
Developing a Flutter app is completely different from developing an Android or iOS app. It has different language, has it's own architechture with it's own packages/dependencies/plugins.
You cannot convert from one of them to the other.
I come to you as a Windows user all my life, so my knowledge of iOS, Apple, and Macs are incredibly limited.
I'm trying to create an iOS app. I know that most iOS apps are now written in Swift (and used to be in Objective-C), which seem to "require" Xcode and/or SwiftUI (not 100% sure about this). Is there a way to write an iOS app in Windows or without using a Mac device? It's nothing too complicated, featuring a simple UI, text submission boxes, and links to other pages of the app.
I know I can use a Virtual Machine or other methods to interact with Mac/iOS software, but is there an easier way to do this? Can I simply code everything in a regular text editor and compile it elsewhere?
Additionally, can I write an iOS app in a different language besides Swift or Objective-C? OR can I use Swift, SwiftUI, and/or Xcode in Windows?
Basically - is there an easy way for me to write an iOS app in Windows? Any and all help would be deeply appreciated. Stay healthy out there.
Flutter is your best option here apart from it writing native multiplatform apps using dart it can also write platform-specific code for both Android (Java) and IOS (swift)
Yes. You can use React Native to write an iOS app on a Windows system.
Also additionally - Yes. You can write an iOS app in a different language besides Swift or Objective-C. React Native will let you write an iOS app in Javascript.
Hope this helps someone!
By this I mean truly native, and only iOS threads, not one that has native and JavaScript threads.
As far as I know yes, check for example Gravitron, a game made entirely in ReasonML by #JaredForsyth that compiles both to the native Android and iOS platforms!
We have build an app using React Native, and are currently looking for a test cloud service.
Xamarin looks like a good choice, but does it work with React Native?
Xamarin UI test doesn't care about how you have compiled your app, it's enough that when launched your app renders native component and React Native makes exactly this. So you can use it, for instance, with native Android and iOS, with Titanium, with Native Script, but not with Ionic and all the Cordova based frameworks.
You could have problems also if inside your app you used a lot of webviews.
I am looking for some tools that would enable an IOS app to be tested in an automated way without necessarily having access to the code (essentially black box testing). Currently I am exploring something like robotium to do just that in Android, but I also need to be able to test IOS apps. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for doing this in IOS?
You have build in with Xcode Instruments UIAutomation.
But I recommend Appium because it supports Android and iOS.
