Hi! I want to make a mobile app, but I am not sure if it is better to use Vue.js + Apache Cordova or Vue Native. I am a starter. I do not know anything about Vue nor React. Can someone recommend which one is better, please? Thank you :)

Working with vue in cordova is very problematic. Using capacitorjs will be the best idea. Most Cordova plugins work on capacitor but capacitor plugins dont work on Cordova.

On the other hand, vue native is a wrapper of react native and it might not support all react native plugins so using react native instead of vue native will be a better decision.

Performance wise vue native/react native will be slightly faster than Cordova/capacitor. The difference is not noticeable in most cases.

Vue Native has been deprecated and is no longer maintained.

Hybrid Apps can be just as challenging to build as Native apps so you might want to look into Apple Swift. 



Cordova isn't a great option in my opinion in 2023, performance wise its not great (Ionic is a better choice).

Ionic React for more traditional web development skills to build a Progressive Web App,

React Native for more advanced JavaScript developers or native developers for native controls and libraries, React Native may be a better fit.

I'm a huge fan of Vue.js and I'm pretty comfortable with it. I need to build a mobile app for my company and I was now wondering whether I could make use of VueJS with Vue Native instead of switching to React. I know Vue Native builds on top of RN. My question is whether I'd have as much freedom with Vue Native over RN and whether you feel like Vue Native is "production ready" or not. Not sure of which shortcomings I may find using Vue Native... Thanks a lot!!!

Vue Native is definitely production-ready in my experience. I've used both, have apps built with both in production right now, and both are fine technologies. As far as I can recall, there's nothing in RN that you can't do in VN. Given that, I would say go with "the devil you know".

That said, the one downside of VN over RN is that there are a lot more people using RN last I checked, so there are likely more resources readily available.

Thanks a lot Barry. Surely there are tons more stuff on ReactNative over VN. Super useful. The thing is that i don't deeply understand those technologies to have a full picture. I'm on it in these days though.

Yeah, and that's why I say go with what you know, but don't let that stop you if you would rather use React. I don't find the concepts behind Vue and React to be all that different which makes the transition between the two fairly simple.
