React Native is the best choice when it comes to build cross platform apps with fast performance. there are third-party libraries like react-native-firebase or react-native-webrtc to integrate video calling capabilities, including FaceTime-like functionality. For chat functionality, you can use libraries like GiftedChat or react-native-gifted-chat to implement real-time messaging features. For iOS the scenario is a bit different While React Native is a versatile choice, integrating FaceTime-like functionality directly is challenging due to limitations in accessing native features of iOS. To overcome this, you can use platform-specific SDKs like Agora, Twilio, or SendBird that offer cross-platform video calling and chat solutions. You would use React Native for the overall app development and UI, and rely on these SDKs for the specific features.
