Another viable — and possibly more enjoyable — approach would be to use C# for the full stack, irrespective of platform. See http://xamarin.com http://xamarin.c

- therealmarv 12y agoNo offense against C# (I like the language) but Xamarin is a commercial product https://store.xamarin.com/ https://store.xamarin.com/ which makes you dependent on Xamarin. Xamarin is definitely more advanced and I guess you can also do cross compiling UI apps. But before going the Xamarin road I would look more into QT.

- shawn-butler 12y agoStatic linking for iOS generally means an Qt enterprise license for proprietary / closed applications. Obviously every situation is unique.
- pjmlp 12y agoNot all mobile platforms allow for dynamic linking of third party code. Digia also recently changed the license to LGPL3, which has some implications in embedded platforms, like mobiles. Personally, I am the opinion when one gets money from others work, it should pay back in some form.
- Alphasite_ 12y agoiOS 8 finally allows dynamically linked frameworks.
