that's a great question. Surely, there are a ton of pros and cons when we are talking about cross-platform today. With MobileUI, our main goals are:
Enable developers to build apps with great quality. This typically means: The framework must support native UI as this typically resembles the great look and feel your users love from all the competing apps on their phones. Users get the full FPS from the UI (e.g. for animations), super-fast response times and they can use the gestures they love (e.g. for navigation).
Save time and effort by going cross-platform. While the above is all great, one could achieve this with dual-development for Android and iOS as well. This is okay, if you have the budget. But going cross-platform typically brings significant savings. That's why MobileUI is a cross-platform approach. But with an important addition: You can also break out of the "single codebase" whenever needed. With MobileUI running on Android Runtime and RoboVM, you have the possibility to directly access native SDKs from Java and Kotlin. And that's a main difference to Ionic, React Native or Flutter, where you need to switch languages, tools and IDEs to implement native extensions.
But for sure, we are also big fans of the Java and Kotlin ecosystem. And with us are about 9 million Java developers and millions of Android devs. MobileUI enables them to build amazing cross platform apps. Especially for Android developers, we give our best to flatten the learning curve 😁. And that's what makes it easy for agencies and companies that have Android developers to go cross-platform!
