There is no absolute answer for everyone.

My choice was Xamarin, and now it’s latest version, MAUI (which is not new, just a major next version of Xamarin renamed for marketing purposes).

The main benefit for me is being able to use a language (C#) and a framework (.NET 7) that is portable across OSs, same as used in the cloud/server apps that a mobile app will likely use, and is open-source and been around 20+ years.

If you design correctly, some C# libraries you write are also usable with MAUI.

Blazor for use making apps outside of web apps is promising, but IMHO, needs another year or so to catch up to MAUI.

My preference today is MAUI for native mobile apps and Blazor for web apps. All use C# and .NET 7.
