Mobile development in 2019: native versus cross-platform

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Compares four concrete stacks — ReactNative, Xamarin, Flutter and Kotlin multi-platform — and gives the tradeoffs: shared UI and JS bridge cause performance limits, .NET/Xamarin adds bundle size, Flutter ships its own rendering engine and widgets, Kotlin shares only business logic. An agency chooses Flutter for learning curve and app quality, reports fewer duplicated tickets and far fewer platform-specific bugs, but warns cross-platform always adds new tech cost and occasional feature lag.
