Why is Cross platform


Historically, platform & mobile software developments were isolated with different technology frameworks.  As an example, desktop software is built using Windows form, web apps are using web form. In terms of mobile app development, iOS is using objective C/swift whereas android uses java.  

Typically, a developer will need to learn and master each platform’s specific development language and software frameworks.  It drives the development/business need to allow one shared language that could be used across multiple platforms and mobile devices.  

As noted above, Microsoft’s .NET unified platform roadmap/strategy is one of the best testimonies, which was highlighted in their recent annual tech conference.  

In this alignment, Micorsoft’s Xamarin is uplifted to Multi-platform App UI (MAUI), which builds native, cross-platform desktop and mobile apps all in one framework.
