How to write games, applications for ios and android?

Question

Mobile development

Of course, I'll start with applications, if it works out, then I'll switch to games.
Applications can be divided into 2 categories.
1. web applications - a simple application that will receive data from the server, send its own data, and may process something. "push notifications, file downloads, minor manipulations"
Connection probably via websockets, apple devices have no problems with this
2. Full-fledged applications that no longer depend so much on the server.
Games, they are still far away. If I get to them, then I will use game engines .. I can hardly write from 0 myself, this is not a blog.
Of course, the main goal of ios, android, let it be a bonus.
As I understand it, you can write in C++.
There are still options using the web (php + js + css), but in this case, all actions through the browser?
In general, where to start?
What technology to choose, what language, fremes?

Answer 4

If you write cross-platform applications then:
Xamarin - you can write native applications in c #, it costs money
PhoneGap - a browser window with an additional api for accessing device functions
Telerik platform for mobile - turns javascript and css into native code, though instead of html they have their own description format ui is very similar to xaml
Other tools are used for games:
Unity - you can quickly create a prototype, you can write in c #, it costs money
Cocos2d-x is a very interesting framework, actively developed by Asians, completely free, even more native than others c++ 11 (by the way, despite the presence of 2d in the title, you can write three-dimensional games on it)
