Interesting work around but it does emphasise that you're working around, not working with mobile development. I get it, thought.
Unfortunately I need sensor access.

I've been very happy with Xamarin.Forms, coming into it with an existing C# WebForms and MVC experience. Even though Microsoft is embracing React Native, I don't see them pushing anyone away from Xamarin. Xamarin seems to have a strong community within Microsoft, and it gets better and more user-friendly with every release of Xamarin.Forms and Visual Studio for Mac.

I've been avoiding mobile development altogether, and have done very little web development, for exactly those same reasons.
Frankly at this rate, by the time something decent is out, I'll be retired. I'm just hoping I can stretch it for that long.

Yes. It is an absolute debacle.

Have you tried Ionic & Phonegap (or Capacitor). Uses Angular or React. Can connect to phone api's so you can use the sensors. MS Code is a great development environment and it uses Typescript. Can create store ready apps for Apple or Android. Best off it's free with lots of support...have a look.
Most important is to ensure your local versions match the repos before downloading. Have had some agony on old tutorials that don't match my local dev environment.

I tried PhoneGap a year or so ago and found it kinda painful.
The "mismatched version" issue with old examples is a major killer here. Everything is still changing so quickly, and so fragile, that stuff a year old simply doesn't work anymore.

I'll spare you the details of the context in which Bill's darkside sense of "humor" was unleashed on you rather than recursing until it ran out of stack space in the virtual sandbox of horrors that Bill's brain sometimes does dysfunctional programming [1] in during the winter solstice when his druidic heritage surfaces. As William Blake said:Quote: Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burdened air;
Hungry clouds swag on the deep. [2]
I would like to say: SORRY !
And, wish you and your families an auspicious beginning of this Year of the Rat.
[1] in dysfunctional programming every method must apply itself to all its ancestors ad infinitum.

To have an error is human, to admit it is wisdom, to apologize for it is brave
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

To apologize is a sign of weakness.

Does that mean the brave are weak?

You may not realize it, but you are quoting John Wayne in the 1949 movie "She wore a yellow ribbon." Much later Gibbs in NCIS also used the expression.

I do, indeed, realize it.

To act based on your conscience, without regard to how other people may judge you, is: a road to wisdom littered with broken glass the fool must walk on barefoot ?

I thought it was dark and very unlike you....and I loved it. I don't think you owe anyone an apology, IMHO.
Cheers.

Isn't it interesting that we say "owe ... an apology" ... as if there is a debt ?

If we start making apologies for being inappropriate in a forum, I'd still be typing this post next year.

Nah, not just for giving my opinion.
Lots of politicians with words that create war; they don't apologize. Also no apologies seen after some beheadings, nor after the assaults here in Europe. So, jest or simple facts, or simply an opinion people don't like - is not coming with an apology here.
