Desktop web application and mobile apps

Hello all! I have a question. I need to do a SaaS web application for desktop and also separate applications for iOS, Android and Windows mobile. The problem is that I have no experience. I found how to do an app for desktop using .net Core for backend and Angular for frontend but I don't completely understand how to do the mobile apps. Should be a separate project or the code for the desktop can be reused. I found out on internet about NativeScript but I don't completely understand what it is.. if it should be used as frontend or backend. I was wandering how experienced developers work and what technologies they use. I am stuck and I don't have much time for learning and any suggestion is welcome. Thank you!

Before giving you the answer, I am very curious, what makes you "need to do an application" before you know how to do it? Is it appropriate to commit something that you are not capable of.

Anyway, you can use a separate projects for NativeScript mobile app project, and you can share the code base in one project. The commands are: npm install --global @nativescript/schematics and then ng new --collection=@nativescript/schematics --name=my-app --shared Check this article for more reference. https://blog.angular.io/apps-that-work-natively-on-the-web-and-mobile-9b26852495e7

Thank you very much. I have to do this for the university, with a small app and the teacher didn't explain anything.
