The fact that you need a MacOS machine even to build Xamarin or React native apps always struck me as bizarre though - I assumed there was some proprietary component that Apple wouldn't publish the details for.
- catiopatio 3y agoMy assumption is that the development/maintenance/support costs aren’t worth the bump in adoption/sales they’d see from doing it. It’s a large amount of expensive, ongoing work, and leveraging Apple’s native toolchain will invariably provide a better user experience.
