My question is: what is the best/easiest way to make cross-platform apps/games? iOS and Android - and Windows Phone if possible.
I have read about many different ways. HTML5 and JavaScript - and then just the overall implementation for the specific platforms. I have read about some 'converting tools' - fx Intel Porter Tool. And names like PhoneGap, Intel XDK, Appcelerator and Mosync and many others are showing up.
So I'm just all confused.. What would you prefer?
I'm not completely new in iOS programming, but not that much experienced either. I have made a few apps and games. Else I have a little experience with HTML and CSS. But I have never been working with HTML5 and JavaScript. I'm also aware that native platform specific apps is better that hybrid apps. But after all this I would love to hear from you : what do you prefer or not? :-)
Xamarin is an open-source, cross-platform app development framework owned by Microsoft. It is used for creating native cross-platform apps for Android, iOS, and Windows using C# and . NET. Xamarin apps are built using native user interface controls and provide a high-performance user experience.
Cross-platform app development is creating software that can be used on multiple platforms. This can be done either by creating separate software versions for each platform or by using a cross-platform development tool that allows the software to be written once and then compiled for each platform.
Hybrid has limited access to device and OS features. Cross-platform has limitations but less than Hybrid, although it depends on the framework you choose. In the battle of performance, no one can match the Native app development.
Refer- Which Cross Platform Mobile Development Platform Should You Choose
You can read this document and choose whatever you feel comfortable to use. If you are using HTML5, CSS, JavaScript then you can use phonegap in my opinion but let it be refer above site you will get basic idea and so that you can choose whatever which you feel simple.
