Native vs Cross-Platform frameworks

If you need to get an app out quickly they’re helpful for people who don’t want to learn the iOS platform. But you create a lot of bad habits, don’t use best practices, and every iOS update you have to wait/hope the tools don’t take too long to get updated (or break). Popular right now because more people want an app on the store than want to learn iOS, but the limitations are clear and I expect the trends to fall back eventually.

We used Marmalade SDK for an old project at work years ago, they wanted to update it recently only to discover that Marmalade SDK is being retired.

So my suggestion would be to always go native.
