Mobile First...
summary
Consultancy data shows a rapid shift: enterprises move many Cordova apps to React Native rewrites for much faster prototyping and reuse of web engineers, while performance and JS dependency bloat remain real risks. Clients pick native only when they need push notifications drive native behavior or tight platform APIs. Unity gets used for a complex Helsinki Airport app with indoor maps and AR touches, Xamarin.Forms adoption rises where C# talent exists, and teams use TypeScript, VS Code, Xamarin Test Cloud and VSTS for CI and device testing.
