Titanium would be the closest alternative that I can think of. Titanium allows for apps to be be developed using JavasScript and then compile natively for Android, iOS, and others.
- camus 13y agothey dont compile JS natively. Your code is still in javascript but get executed in a native shell, instead of using a web view , but there is no js compilation into native code.
- mrinterweb 13y agoThanks. I didn't realize that it was still running interpreting the javascript after a project was built for a device that made calls to native interfaces. My guess is that it would be close to native performance. I was under the impression that Titanium would compile to java bytecode for android and likewise for iOS, but I was wrong.
- Skinney 13y agoTitanium, last I checked also do not support all the native API's like Xamarin does. Six months ago I did not see support for the ActionBar for Android apps. Even though the Titanium API is supposed to work cross platform, usually there are functions or settings that only works on either Android or iOS. It's messy in my oppinion, but it is a lot cheaper.
