Give serious thought about using React Native over Flutter: 1) You can use JavaScript/TypeScript instead of learning another bespoke language (Dart). 2) With React Native you have the option of deploying OTA updates, this allows you to deploy fixes and basic updates without going through the app store review process.

How is this done? Any documentation, tutorial or example that you can point to?

Does Apple and Google allow this?

They do. With the caveat that only the js bundle can be pushed via ota. If your app changes that touch the native implementation requires a traditional review. Check out Expo publish and Microsoft Codepush.

Flutter has hot reload, does React Native?

It does. The react native metro server will watch for file changes and hot reload the javascript bundle.
