But the real equalizers were destined to appear a little later, each of which also took the previous approaches and greatly surpassed them. Let's move on to this story's heroes, React Native and Flutter.

Flutter is a software development kit and open-source framework created by Google in 2017. In turn, it can be considered the heir to the Xamarin approach, as it provides its own broad set of tools for creating applications. This includes the Dart programming language, the Flutter engine, the Foundation library, Widgets, and additional Flutter DevTools.
The first such equalizer was the creation of PhoneGap by Nitobi in 2011. It was later acquired by Adobe, which turned it into Cordova. Cordova is a cross-platform open-source mobile app development environment. It allowed you to write apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, converting them into code that interacted with the platforms' APIs. Sure, it provided cross-platform interoperability, but the platforms still treated it as a web element and, in essence, was neither a full web nor a fully native app.
