NativeScript VS Titanium

This is not so much the Svelte equivalent of React Native as it is just NativeScript (https://nativescript.org).

There is also https://nativescript.org/ which would allow you to use Vue (or several other frameworks) to build a mobile app. Used it myself a while back for an iPad app using Vue 2 and it was pretty straightforward. It seems like there have been quite a few improvements since then so might be worth a look.

Anyone who thinks this sucks should try NativeScript with hassle-free update experience, quick build time, HMR, direct access to native apis, use React Native plugins and more. Pick any style you like - vanilla, Angular, Vue, React, Svelte - and easily add some SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose views if you want a and connect it to your JS. Docs are a bit behind at the moment but a major update is in progress. https://nativescript.org/

There are layers that offer access to native APIs like capacitor, cordova and nativescript. Apparently sometimes multiple of them should be used, but I didn't understand what are the differences even after reading the announcement. These seem to be frontend agnostic technologies and Capacitor is apparently the more modern choice at the moment.

Maintaining NativeScript core is like maintaining any TypeScript library. In particular, it's maintenance revolves largely around:

PWA? You can then, with moderate difficulty use something like https://nativescript.org/ make native versions.

Using the amazing Preview environment that the Nativescript team together with Stackblitz have done, it was time to start hacking at it. (More information can be found here at https://preview.nativescript.org/)

8. NativeScript + PWA [hybrid]

There is something called NativeScript

On the Android side a Floating Action Button icon will now respect the tintColor and will change its color. The Android Label got some new properties: lineCount (returns the lines of the label) and visibleText (returns the visible text). This is very useful if you work with an ellipsize: true Label. Check the PR for some demo code. And as described in a previous new post: breakStrategy and hyphenationFrequency (demo code). The titleAttributes.color property is now exposed on Android so it will use the same value as iOS to color the title text

Titanium SDK - cross platform mobile framework

Appcelerator Titanium is an open-source platform that allows developers to create native mobile apps using JavaScript. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and capabilities for building, testing, and deploying various applications across multiple platforms, including iOS and Android.

I remember Appcelerator. In fact I'm still using it to this day. The core Titanium is now open source and the Apps are "true" native. Give them another look and you may be surprised: https://titaniumsdk.com

Java 19 support is on the roadmap and many PRs are waiting to be included. Help to test them https://github.com/tidev/titanium_mobile/pulls so we have some feedback and can merge them quicker.

A new layout for Android was added in PR that adds a collapsing toolbar with a parallax image effect. Click here for a video demo

And if you are a Android/Java or iOS developer and want to work on the SDK yourself: have a look at the official github repo. Pull request are always welcome!

support for Dynamic Island (PR - docs will come soon

of course you can use every other Android theme. And with that you will have a new helper function Ti.UI.Android.harmonizedColor(color) that will generate a "harmonizing color" of the color you are passing in (PR).
