Updating React Native every few months with breaking changes, no official upgrade path but "diff the two versions and copy everything over", having to update something every few months because Google introduces some new bullshit (API level updates that break everything! 16 KB page size! no orientation lock for tablets! yay!), using dependencies that get deprecated because React Native comes with no batteries included (Expo seems better but it's 1) another vendor lock-in 2) difficult to use with third party SDKs and 3) was not in the state it's now when the development of our app was started)... man I hate React Native and mobile development with a passion. Sadly I'm stuck with it for now...
I use Flutter with seems to fix many of these issues, primarily because it's not in the npm ecosystem so I don't have random breakages everywhere, because like you I also was tired of React Native.
