About Cross Platform Mobile Development

Cross platform mobile development describe a technique of writing a single codebase for applications that will ultimately used on different operating systems. Different phone operating systems like android and iOS are structurly not the same in their architecture. Google and Apple inspire code to be written in contradicting ways. That makes very complicated for programmers to write a singular codebase that if effective on both platforms.
