I think if you're starting today you'd be better off with Tauri (and Svelte as the framework)?

I would rather stick to either pure mobile Web, or native views + C++, but that is me.

No added tooling, only the SDKs from each platform, no late nights debugging integration layers, lack of support on IDEs,...

My company tried using this a few years ago to build a cross platform app (and hopefully share a lot of code with our svelte web interface). We made a lot of progress in 3-4 months of trying, but we ended up running into too many odd bugs and edge cases that were difficult to debug. We eventually switched to Flutter for the mobile codebase.

No doubt this and nativescript have improved since then, but from my early impressions, I wouldn't have recommended nativescript for anything other than the simplest of interface needs.

This is the story I’ve heard about almost every react native project.

Get to proof of concept 10x faster. Spend 10x more time in the weeds on weird bugs.

SDKs for 4+ platforms is added tooling...

Why does NativeScript seem so much worse than React Native?

Funding? Plugin ecosystem like Expo modules? Or maybe use both?

Then throw in some SwiftUI too

It is when it represents debugging the same code 4+ times.

That is the fallacy of all these leaky abstractions, the need to actually know the native APIs from each platform doesn't go away.

Someone needs to take care of integration problems.

NativeScript is not react-native
