Multi platform App using c# or Javascript

Question

Cynthia Sathuragiri · Answer

A multi-platform app runs on different devices like Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS using the same code. Using C#, you can build multi-platform apps with .NET MAUI or Xamarin. Using JavaScript, you can use React Native, Ionic, or Electron to build apps for web, mobile, and desktop. These tools help save time by writing one codebase for all platforms.
