As the world is always changing technology is one thing that always evolves, Mobile development is one of the changing events with many opportunities. 

I am a technology enthusiast and a semi-coder, love to play with codes and troubleshoot sometimes I write about some mobile development platforms and architecture, as well as the pros and cons, I am presently on the HNG Internship.

Android,  iOS, Cross-Platform (React Native, Flutter),

Android 

Pros: Largest global market share. An open-source platform allows extensive customization. Robust development tools like Android Studio and Kotlin. 

Cons: Device and OS fragmentation complicates development. Performance varies across different devices. An open nature can lead to security vulnerabilities.

IOS 

Pros: Native performance is excellent. Consistent and high-quality user experience. A strong ecosystem with tools like Xcode and Swift. 

Cons: Higher entry barrier due to Apple device costs. Stringent app review process can delay releases. Learning Swift and Objective-C can be challenging for beginners.

Cross-Platform (React Native, Flutter) 

Pros: Code reusability with a single codebase. Cost-effective, reducing development time and costs. Strong community support and extensive libraries. 

Cons: Performance may not match native apps in some cases. Limited access to platform-specific features. Debugging and optimization complexity. I hope I have been able to give you some ideas if you are venturing into any of the technologies above.
