Dawn Chorus an app I worked on, which was featured on the iOS app store[1], was written completely in React Native.

Here are the App Store links:

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dawn-chorus/id1146931666?mt=...

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dawnchorus...

We even open sourced it: https://github.com/CMP-Studio/DawnChorus

I believe it is an example of a high fidelity and quality React Native app on two platforms.

Is there a larger question about how many cross-platform, non-hybrid applications are out there and which is the best stack for doing likewise? The field includes: Flutter, NativeScript, React Native, Ruby Motion, Xamarin, KikApp (PHP), PyMob and Kivy (python), RubyMotion (Ruby)... and of course C++.

May not be as popular anymore but Lrn app was built with RN and was featured by Apple on the home page in 110+ countries. Still has a sticky spot in the education category in 10 countries and has about half a million users. Not maintained anymore tho.

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lrn-learn-to-code-in-html/id...

Another app that comes to my mind is from vouge. It was also featured by Apple on the home page.

Our site (AppBrain) indexes which Android app contain which libraries. This doesn't indicate exclusive use of a framework of course, but the trend is very clear that React Native is much more popular than Flutter. React Native has a number of 1 billion+ downloaded apps, whereas the biggest Flutter app is 1 million+. https://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/details/react_nativ... vs https://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/details/flutter/flu...

I would like to know about Xamarin too if anyone has them. Particularly looking for high fidelity creative / UX

Not exclusive use, but here are some apps that contain the Xamarin code: https://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/details/xamarin/xam...

Our last app (Chorus, a podcast player mashed up with a social network, http://chorus.am) was built entirely in react-native - with the exception of the streaming implementation. In my mind, it's a great example of the optionality that RN gives you: easy cross-platform UI dev with an escape hatch to write native code when you need to.

It's a shame expo.io doesn't provide background audio [0], they've been saying for years that "it's be supported soon" but it still isn't...

That being said, expo.io is absolutely amazing if you need to use native features through RN without touching O-C/Swift

until recently, airbnb made a substantial effort to integrate react native. project immaturity and a need for faster version releases necessitated maintaining an internal fork. they've since begun to move back to platform-native languages.
