3. react-native

   There's also React Native that apparently takes care of both UI and native APIs.

4. NativeScript

   3 32 25,002 9.0 TypeScript

   ⚡ Empowering JavaScript with native platform APIs. ✨ Best of all worlds (TypeScript, Swift, Objective C, Kotlin, Java, Dart). Use what you love ❤️ Angular, React, Solid, Svelte, Vue with: iOS (UIKit, SwiftUI), Android (View, Jetpack Compose), Dart (Flutter) and you name it compatible.

   

   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.

5. Ionic Framework

   4 137 52,011 9.7 TypeScript

   A powerful cross-platform UI toolkit for building native-quality iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

   

   There are UI Kits like Quasar (Vue-only) and Ionic (React, Angular or Vue).
