Cross-platform mobile frameworks reduce the gap between development and release.
Developers can build an software that runs on multiple platforms using the same technology.
Flutter SDK
Flutteris an open-source software development kit (SDK) released by Google in 2017.

Xamarin
Xamarin is an open-source platform for building iOS and Android apps with .NET and C#.
Xamarin doesnt enforce a one-size-fits-all solution for all platforms.
It lets you use platform-specific APIs to build your app.
Xamarin.iOS allows you to develop iOS mobile apps while you might use Xamarin.Android for Android apps.
Xamarin exposes all the underlying APIs and functionality of the operating system to the app.
It also compiles all the code into a native binary which gives the app native-like performance.

Ionic Mobile Framework
Ionic was created in 2013, initially to help build mobile apps using Angular.
