NativeScript

NativeScript allows you to write native mobile apps using JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular, Vue, or Svelte. Unlike hybrid apps (WebView), it renders native UI components and provides direct access to all iOS and Android APIs without boilerplate wrappers.

When to Use

• You need 100% native performance and API access but want to share logic in JS/TS.
• You want to use Angular or Vue architecture for mobile.
• You need to access a new native API (e.g., latest iOS SDK) immediately without waiting for a plugin wrapper.

Quick Start

npm install -g nativescript
ns create my-app
# Choose flavor: Angular, Vue, React, Svelte, or TypeScript
cd my-app
ns run android
