That also be a choice
But that means I’m working in a VM then entire time since its IDE is Windows only
And client is all Mac based soooooo …
At least Android Studio is x-platform that way (since its an IntelliJ ide under the hood)
You could also get from one Source with JavaFX what I would also at least mention in this case (GluonMobile) and will end up in a native compiled Solution. You can get from the same sources also Desktop Applications for all paltforms. In my eyes the most flexible solution.
Also possible: write the solution in Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile. Also one Source for both without any limitations.
Last but not least: CodenameOne provides you a solution writing your App in Java or even Kotlin. They provide flexible build Servers (need to pay for) or building local (is open Source).
At least I would consider that.
Ah yes
Not that I’d forgotten just hadn’t mentioned them
At least for this the ONLY platforms we are targeting are iOS & Android
Its a very specific line of business application that literally doesnt have any use except on iOS or Android - hand help scanners really
What that has to do with the ability of the languages java and kotlin on modern mobile devices? You can use the language without any problems. Why use other ones? If using cn1, kotlin mpm or gluon you have as the result a modern and native running mobile application
Just saying that getting a desktop app from the sources ISNT a priority - its not even a consideration
Nor is a web app
So if a toolset / language is narrowly targeted at getting iOS and Android then thats fine
It its broader - thats fine too
We do have several choices for this particular app as to what we use
And, at the moment, because of the issues Xojo is presenting all the others look attractive
