    This is not a web standard. Google wrote the specification and only Google have implemented it. It’s an unofficial draft:

    > Editors:

    > Matt Giuca (Google Inc.)

    > Eric Willigers (Google Inc.)

    > Status of This Document

    > This specification was published by the Web Incubator Community Group. It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track

    — https://w3c.github.io/web-share-target/level-2/

    Firefox doesn’t implement it either: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476515

    Apple raised a concern about spoofing which seems to have gone unaddressed by the spec authors in over a year: https://github.com/w3c/web-share-target/issues/109

    This may yet turn into a web standard given more work, but please don’t hold up a Google spec. implemented only by Google as if it were a part of the web platform that Apple are late in implementing.

    Probably not. I've coded more for webtech, but have done native for Android (and Linux and Windows). Luckily very little iOS and MacOS apart from some reverse engineering.

    You don't need frameworks or bundlers for simple cases. For many you need just one .html file.

    For e.g. Android you need dozens of files to do even get a Hello world [1]. You need to compile and bundle and package. And install. And god knows what if you want the application distributed. And then you have to fight with the inconsistent and very boilerplatey Android APIs. And figure out which API is deprecated today and what's the new one that will be deprecated tomorrow.

    From what I gather, iOS native is even worse. E.g. have to buy a Mac and use MacOS. And Xcode. And faff with signing keys.
