MAUI

Cross-Platform Mobile Development: Tools and Strategies Cross-platform mobile development lets you write once and run on iOS and Android, but you still need to balance speed with a native feel. Framework choices shape UI consistency, performance, and long‑term maintenance. A thoughtful strategy means selecting a tool that fits your team and your app’s needs. Flutter: one codebase for two platforms, fast UI with hot reload, strong performance and a growing plugin ecosystem. React Native: brings web skills to mobile, wide library support, but may need native tuning for complex features. Kotlin Multiplatform: share business logic while keeping native UI, good for Android‑focused teams with iOS parity goals. .NET MAUI: targets mobile and desktop from a single project, easing some cross‑platform plumbing when .NET is in use. Choosing a framework takes balance. Consider team skills, existing code, required platform features, and planned growth. If you want rapid UI prototyping and a cohesive look, Flutter is a strong fit. If your team already writes JavaScript or TypeScript, React Native can be efficient. If you prefer shared logic with native UI, Kotlin Multiplatform offers a clean path. If desktop support matters too, MAUI provides a unified approach. ...

C# for Windows and Cross-Platform Apps C# is a versatile language from Microsoft that runs on the .NET platform. It helps you build Windows desktop apps, servers, and tools that run on many systems. If you want one code base for several devices, C# is a solid choice. For Windows UI, developers often use WPF or WinForms. For cross‑platform UI, .NET MAUI can share most UI and logic across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Linux support in MAUI is not official, so some teams turn to Avalonia or GTK for Linux desktops. ...
