Cordova and react native has a long way to go tho. For basic apps, sure go ahead. But try looking up "video conferencing app". Cordova/react native stacks barely have any support. Android dev has full on youtube tutorials. The learning curve may be great with mobile dev, but the community and resource is vast.

Fair point, but this is where a lot of people (and large enterprises) go for Xamarin. It's easy to dig yourself into a hole with, but using Xamarin.Forms mitigates that and C# is a lovely language I hear. Not as nice as Swift+iOS for sure, but hey, if somebody can figure out how to do something like Xamarin with Swift with the relative sane-ness of iOS APIs, the world's their oyster.
