They don't develop those APIs out of the goodness of their heart - it's a lock in strategy.
They've made it practically impossible to write native cross platform code that runs on IOS, and they've everything they can (within political limits) to prevent web apps from being able to compete with native apps.
- bowsamic 3y agoMany apps have a cross platform C++ back end
- dgfitz 3y agoI’ve had success with Qt building an app that compiles on Android and iOS. I’m not in the app development business at $dayjob though.
- ederamen 3y agoOh cool - I started looking into Qt a while ago but was confused by their license. Would you recommend it?
- rubymamis 3y agoThe license may look confusing, but it's pretty permissive. I highly recommend Qt. I developed a block editor[1] (similar to Notion) using Qt C++ and QML, and my development experience is pretty great. [1] https://www.get-plume.com/ https://www.get-plume.com/
