"if" exactly, Google has a tendency to drop projects out of nowhere, or to suddenly change course on it.
Another big "no" factor with Flutter for me is that it's its own ecosystem and language; React Native ties in with the greater React ecosystem and the even greater Node ecosystem, which gives you a lot of libraries, code examples, maintenance and improvements. Second, hiring is a major factor. You can assign most current-day web developers onto a RN project with little problems, whereas Flutter is a new language and skill set.
Sure it’s a valid concern. I’m building my own app so hiring isn’t a concern for me. So far I’ve found the Flutter library ecosystem to be more than adequate for my needs and I’m finding it a far more pleasant and productive platform than React Native to work in.
I always found RN very easy to get started with but over time as features get added and dependencies evolve RN apps become increasingly difficult to update and maintain.
Also React is one of those easy to learn but difficult to master technologies. I’ve interviewed a lot of people claiming to know React that I wouldn’t trust to build anything complex. There are just so many footguns.
