What tools are optimal for developing an application for both IOS and Android?

Question

Mobile development

This will be my first mobile development project, so please don't judge too harshly.

There is a website written in laravel. The site is like a regular directory of performers, with an authorization function.

I already have a rough idea of ​​how to create an API for displaying (after GET requests) and editing (after POST requests) information on the site. There are some security questions, but that's not the point.

It would be desirable to create applications at once under two platforms IOS and Android. What tools will be the most effective for this? Please note that in the future I will most likely do projects alone. But I don't want to lose much in terms of performance either.
- for IOS use Swift and for Android
use Android Studio
- Flutter or something similar
- Xamarin / React Native / Native Script, etc.
- Another option in the answer

If it's not difficult, answer why exactly these tools?

Answer 1

Xamarin is quite good, especially if you do not use Xamarin.Forms, but you have to constantly read the documentation for native APIs (that is, you immediately need to be able to read Java / Kotlin and Swift / ObjC) + you need to be able to C #
In your case, kmk, React will be better Native, because with JS you should not have very big difficulties, since you have a website.
Another possible option is to write a SPA and wrap it in Cordova, then there will be one application for the web and all phones.
