I'm assuming you're talking about the need to learn more and do more, as opposed to simply technological progress (which is kinda neat watching all this new stuff appear IMHO).
So tech progresses. But at most you're affected by two or three of these major changes. If you feel like you have to keep up with everything then perhaps you're trying too do much. If you are sure you need to handle every new technology coming out, maybe it's time to make some hires or even pivot.
We catch up with all the technology we've been missing out on only when we need to -- with a strong computer science core, it shouldn't be overtly difficult to learn a language for some new project because the concepts stay the same. But don't attempt to learn everything at once.
If it all feels overwhelming at times, I would recommend meditating for a few minutes in the morning and night. It may sound cliche but it's super easy and very conductive to a calm mood.
Watching the technological progress is fine, yes. But I can't passively watch because I'm involved. Every exciting thing is not just something I can applaud as a consumer but something I have to be after as a developer and entrepreneur.
Sometimes I do ask myself if I'm trying to do too much -- but is being present with your company on both big platforms (iOS + Android) too much already?
I can calm down when I'm not at work (e.g. in the morning). But as soon as work starts, I just see the huge piles of opportunities and demands.
I don't know the answer to this, but maybe moving to Xamarin would help? It will cost you some money, but may simplify trying to support your platforms. I think it's cool what you're doing, I'd love to learn from someone like you. But I purposefully limit what I work with technologically. I think there are ways to handle your business, without having to manage every detail.
I only work with stuff I can do in Python. If I can't do it in Python, I don't do it. It is nice, but I also don't make the money I'm sure you are either. So your problem is definitely self-imposed, but it's not like you're not properly compensated- you're just complaining / letting off steam. For what you're doing, I'd go learn C# and pay for Xamarin licenses.

It probably isn't difficult, but it can be tedious. And over time, tedious can turn into drudgery and so on.
