Shopify Drops React Native for Native Mobile
15 min read
Shopify is abandoning React Native for native mobile development, reversing a six-year strategy it reaffirmed only last year. The company rewrote its Shop app in native code in just 12 weeks, citing AI agents that now write mobile code well enough to make React Native's abstractions unnecessary. The move echoes Airbnb's 2016 adoption and 2018 retreat to native over performance.
