Should I build a native or cross-platform app?

It depends on what the app needs to do: native gives the best performance and deepest platform features, while cross-platform can ship to iOS and Android faster from one codebase. There is no universal answer — we recommend based on your product, timeline, and budget rather than defaulting to a stack. We have shipped a production app to a 4.8★ rating, so the advice comes from having lived the trade-offs.
