Shopify's move back to native mobile development creates friction for teams accustomed to React Native. A focused toolkit could automate common migration tasks like UI component conversion or API bridge setup.

Package this as a CLI tool or VS Code extension that scaffolds native equivalents of RN components. Include CI/CD pipelines optimized for Shopify's stack.

Shopify agencies and in-house teams would pay for speed in retraining staff and rebuilding features.

Start with iOS UIKit/SwiftUI conversion helpers, then expand to Android. Validate with a free component converter tool.

Risk: Shopify might release official tools, but there's room for complementary products.
