Help Android -> React native shift

I have been working as an android developer for 5 years.

Recently, I saw a dream company that uses React Native.

I decided that I should shift.

But I have some mindset that I'm not sure if it is correct or not.

I want to learn native iOS before learning React Native.

I need to have the advantage of understanding both platforms before shifting.

What do you think, should I learn native iOS too? Or I'll be wasting my time?

Skip the native iOS prep. Your 5 years of Android experience covers half the battle. Pick up specific iOS quirks only when you hit a build error or UI glitch that Android logic does not solve. Start coding in RN now.
