- jbigelow76 11y agoSame with NativeScript.
- oblio 11y agoInteresting. Have you used NativeScript for a commercial product? It's the first time I hear about it and I'm curious to hear an opinion about it.
- untog 11y agoI've been playing around with it, but not for a full project. It's very interesting - unlike React Native the JS has full access to all native APIs, so if you want to call one no-one has written a wrapper for yet you just can. I've actually ended up writing a lot of platform specific code as I found the cross-platform stuff to be kind of janky. But it basically lets me write an iOS app, using iOS APIs (and even iOS sample code, if I apply myself)... in JavaScript. It's not bad at all.

Yup I think I'll stay as far away from that as possible! Sounds like a recipe for a 10 hour debugging binge. I think managed APIs are pretty essential when doing interop.
- untog 11y agoDepends what you're trying to do. For instance, I was playing around with notifications in iOS. They have the ability for you to download data in the background before a notification is opened, which is a tremendously useful thing to be able to do. Last I checked the multi-platform frameworks don't allow you to do it - so being able to use NativeScript's cross-platform stuff then augment it as you desire is a pretty great thing.
- jbigelow76 11y agoHaven't used it for a commercial project, only toying around at night. But the company I work for does use another of Telerik's products, Kendo UI.
- infinite8s 11y agoWell it's easy when you don't have to monkey patch assembly jumps.
