Thanks for your very helpful and detailed reply.

I take it that you didn't compare xamarin to anything besides pwa- I'm assuming it's your way of saying that anything else you evaluated didn't stand up to xamarin?

Please let us know if there are any helpful getting started pointers and also for pitfalls.

Right now PWA is not something I'm considering although I see how they are the future (and am glad they are)

I’m not exclusive to PWA and Xamarin; React Native is huge right now and Google is pushing Flutter heavily (in order to ease the transition from Android to Fuchsia, but I digress). And Swift/ObjC with Xcode and Kotlin/Java with Android Studio are always solid options and the ones Apple and Google officially recommend if you ask them.

The stacks and options are just tools in a box; I believe in using the right tool for the job (or the tool required for the contract) rather than being a tool about this stuff. But if asked my opinion I will default to PWA until I know there's a feature requirement beyond PWA's growing abilities.
