Choose from constraints

Native is often better when you need deep device capability, platform-specific UX or maximum performance. Cross-platform is often better when one product team must ship both stores quickly with shared business logic.

What to decide first

Offline behaviour, security, push notifications, hardware access and how the app talks to existing backend systems. The stack is a consequence of those needs.
