See the Platform Guides for instructions. As indicated in the Platform Support table below, you may need to run the CLI on different operating systems depending on the targeted platform. For comprehensive testing, you can also generate application files and install them directly on a device. At any point in the development cycle, you can also rely on platform-specific SDK tools, which may provide a richer set of options.
An SDK environment is more appropriate if you want implement a hybrid app that mixes web-based and native application components. You may use the command-line utility to initially generate the app, or iteratively thereafter to feed updated code to SDK tools. You may also build the app's configuration file yourself. The following shows the set of development tools and device APIs available for each mobile platform. Column headers display the CLI's shorthand stubs.

Like in the case of Ionic - it lets you build mobile apps using standard web technologies. Apps created using Apache Cordova execute in a WebView within the native application wrapper, the same as Ionic.
It also has a set of plugins that enable you to invoke native code from JavaScript. The cons of Apache Cordova are similar to those of Ionic. Code running in WebView will always suffer from worse performance. PhoneGap framework is a distribution of Apache Cordova. React Native was created by Facebook in and the idea behind it is to use the React framework to build cross-platform mobile apps. The views are native components, like in native apps, that communicate through a bridge with logic written using JavaScript.
The logic runs in a JavaScript thread. React Native has the most of the advantages among the solutions mentioned in this article. Using React Native you create cross-platform mobile apps. React Native ensures fairly good performance, and if your app is well designed and written, it can be indistinguishable from a native one. Native UI controls for sure contribute to this. Because view components are converted to native ones they change their appearance depending on the platform , the UI has a native feel.
React Native has a huge community , so in case of any trouble you can easily find help from other app developers. You can also find many libraries - ready-made solutions for custom needs from the React community that you can use in your app to avoid creating features from scratch.
In comparison to the other cross-platform solutions mentioned in this article, we cannot point out any cons React Native solves all the problems other solutions have ; we can, however, name a few disadvantages compared to native apps. The low entry threshold is both a plus and a minus - without good experience in React it is easier to make mistakes that can have a big impact on performance than in the case of native apps.
React Native is also not recommended for apps where security is really important for example financial apps. Native solutions will always be more secure. A React Native app may also not scale as well as a native one. Ionic, Cordova and PhoneGap are hybrid mobile apps. Cordova is a framework which runs a JavaScript app in a WebView that has additional native extensions, which is the definition of a hybrid app.
It has set of standard controls that mimic native controls. PhoneGap is a distribution of Cordova with a few custom packages and tweaks. See Embedding WebViews for details. This is the part where your application code resides. The application itself is implemented as a web page, by default a local file named index. The app executes in a WebView within the native application wrapper, which you distribute to app stores. This container has a very crucial file - config.
Plugins are an integral part of the Cordova ecosystem. They provide an interface for Cordova and native components to communicate with each other and bindings to standard device APIs.
This enables you to invoke native code from JavaScript. Apache Cordova project maintains a set of plugins called the Core Plugins. These core plugins provide your application to access device capabilities such as battery, camera, contacts, etc. In addition to the core plugins, there are several third-party plugins which provide additional bindings to features not necessarily available on all platforms. You can search for Cordova plugins using plugin search or npm. You can also develop your own plugins, as described in the Plugin Development Guide.
Plugins may be necessary, for example, to communicate between Cordova and custom native components. This is the new default behavior. Any plugins you desire, even the core plugins, must be explicitly added. Cordova provides only the runtime in which those can execute.
