how does it compare to go mobile? [Edit] Looks like go mobile, still needs Mac/XCode to develop iOS apps and Android Studio to develop android apps. I haven't found another mobile development tool, other than Adobe AIR SDK, which supports developing iOS apps on windows and supports developing Android apps without Android SDK.

Maybe you are looking for Flutter ?

  No, Flutter also needs a Mac to develop iOS apps and Android SDK to develop android apps.

    Gomatcha also requires Mac/XCode for iOS apps and Android SDK for android apps. I have been using Flutter to develop apps without Android Studio - just the flutter SDK + Android SDK + Gradle

    hmm .. I am not sure I understand your requirement then. Flutter implements its own widgets and has very little in common with the Android SDK. I believe it is only used for its debug tools like adb. What would be the point of getting rid of Android's sdk ?

For games I believe Unreal Engine 4 works on Windows for iOS as long as you stick to Blueprints and no C++.

Maybe you are looking for React Native + Expo. You can develop iOS / Android apps without Android Studio or Xcode installed

IIRC, Go Mobile has no UI layer. It's designed for creating cross platform libraries that you use in existing apps, or otherwise layer with native functionality. This has a UI library and seems to more of an end to end solution.
