Cross-Platform Mobile Development vs. Native
summary
A mobile developer recounts why they have stuck with native iOS and Android development since 2011, listing advantages and disadvantages of native approaches. They analyze many cross‑platform frameworks (Appcelerator, PhoneGap, Unity 3D, Ionic, Xamarin, React Native, Flutter), comparing languages, learning curves, community/support, whether they use webviews or native views, usage statistics and job demand. Finally, they review platform‑specific configuration issues on iOS and Android, the move from Objective‑C/Java to Swift/Kotlin, and similarities in Swift and Kotlin and presentation architectures that reduce platform‑specific code while staying native.
