I have learned how to develop apps for mobile platform since 2013. It was a very different area for a back-end engineer start working on client.
\nAlmost all projects I worked need cross platform, at least iOS + Android.<\/p>\n

After trying 5 different cross platform solutions, I decided to use native platform for my new project now.
\nThe shortage of these solutions are more than the convenience it brings.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Apache Cordova
    \nDetails feel not like real native app. Feature pass.<\/li>\n
  2. C++ Manually build library use ObjC link and JNI load it.
    \nIt works perfect, but it’s too complex to keep C++ and ObjC and JNI at the same time.<\/li>\n
  3. Xamarin Forms
    \nGood for CMS like app, if you don’t care the details for different platforms. Cross platform interface design is a wrong direction for most of my projects.<\/li>\n
  4. Xamarin Native
    \nFor now, I think this is the best cross platform solution. C# is also better language than Java.<\/li>\n
  5. Native for each platform, use OpenAPI generate server stub.
    \nThe most shared logic I wrote with other 4 solutions are client\/server RPC. OpenAPI\/Swagger solved this natively.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
