What tools and frameworks do you use for cross platform mobile development?

Question

I'm a .Net developer and use xamarin but would like to know what other tools other developers like to use.

Answer 1

I use Appcelerator Titanium for developing Cross Platform Mobile apps. It’s based on JavaScript, XML and TSS (based on CSS). I like the fact it’s based on JavaScript, a well known language and it compiles to native code (native performance). You can also write Native modules in e.g. Java or Swift for 1:1 native access if it wouldn’t be available in Titanium. They also introduced Hyperloop a while ago for accessing direct native API’s in JavaScript code, no extra plugins/modules required. But I do have to say that the fact you’re dealing with JavaScript, sometimes can be experienced as a disadvantage (typical JS issues)..
Besides Titanium, I’m also looking into NativeScript (based on Angular).

Answer 2

Interesting. Thanks for your comments. I've mostly done Website, Web app and desktop app development. Just getting into mobile now. I'll have a look at titanium and see what it has to offer.

Thanks again 😊
