What Apple thinks about cross platform frameworks?

Apple's perspective on cross-platform frameworks is that while they may promise the ability to write code once for both Android and iOS, this approach often results in more complexity and less optimal outcomes. According to the Platforms State of the Union, by the time developers adapt each platform's conventions, connect to hardware with platform-specific APIs, implement accessibility, and fill in functionality gaps, they may end up writing more code than anticipated. This can lead to apps that are slower, look out of place, and cannot directly take advantage of features like live activities and widgets.

Apple emphasizes the benefits of using their native frameworks, which are designed to help developers build the best apps with less code. These frameworks are optimized for Apple's platforms, providing the fastest possible performance and allowing for deep integration with platform features.
