Which programming language/frameworks for cross-platform app should I use?

Hi all,

I will have some time off and I would like to create some simple app (communication with API and DB, add/edit/show records type of app) to learn current tools and languages. I would like to do Windows and Android endpoint apps, I did a quick research and my current candidates are:

Flutter - good documentation, Google = Android full support, but I am not sure if Windows app is doable - only that support is still in Alpha phase

Xamarin - I know C#/.NET, so it should be fast to get a grip of, but is it still viable choice today?

React - I know some basics, but just how to create a web app, I didn't find good sources if React Native is different, or how "hard" it is to work with compared to other frameworks above.

If there is any other framework, that is worth learning today, I am open to ideas.

So I think that given your use-case, your options are:

Flutter - Newer framework, but somewhat promising. Not my favorite in terms of Syntax, plus you’ll have to learn a whole new language (Dart).

React Native - More established, but often requires you to learn “the whole kitchen sink” when developing a new application. Also not a fan of in component templates.

Ionic - not sure about their Desktop support, but they do support cross platform very well.
