An Introduction to NativeScript

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

NativeScript claims to run JavaScript JIT “on the metal” calling native iOS (JavaScriptCore) and Android (V8) APIs directly and produces real Xcode/Gradle builds or cloud IPA/APK artifacts. Development uses the TNS CLI and the Sidekick GUI, supports live sync hot reload so edits push without a full rebuild, and integrates CocoaPods/Gradle and third‑party libs. Ecosystem numbers: about 631 plugins on NPM and ~11k stars on GitHub; demos show smooth 60fps scrolling and working debug tooling.
