Choosing The Best Mobile Framework
summary
Compares first‑party native (Swift/ObjC, Java/Kotlin), PWAs, and cross‑platform options like React Native, Xamarin and Flutter, arguing that 95% of apps see negligible performance differences; PWAs have ~100ms vs 10ms native tap latency but can install without app stores, reducing release friction; Xamarin/React Native wrap native APIs for shared C#/JS code and lower maintenance, while Flutter renders a Skia-drawn UI (bespoke, fast) requiring more UI upkeep when platform visuals change.
