Xamarin

A bit later, Microsoft made their answer in the form of Xamarin, which got a lot of popularity. Xamarin is an open-source mobile app development platform later incorporated into Visual Studio. Xamarin allowed you to use C# to write business logic. Instead of HTML and CSS, it offered its markup language, XAML, which maps to the visual elements of the corresponding operating system. These were already much more deserving of being called naive cross-platform applications.

Apache Cordova

The first such equalizer was the creation of PhoneGap by Nitobi in 2011. It was later acquired by Adobe, which turned it into Cordova. Cordova is a cross-platform open-source mobile app development environment. It allowed you to write apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, converting them into code that interacted with the platforms' APIs. Sure, it provided cross-platform interoperability, but the platforms still treated it as a web element and, in essence, was neither a full web nor a fully native app.
