Abstract: Cross-platform mobile application development has gained significant traction in recent years, driven by the growing demand for efficient, cost-effective solutions that cater to both iOS and Android platforms. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of crossplatform mobile application development, emphasizing the industry trends, framework popularity, and adoption in the job market. By analyzing developer preferences, community engagement, and market demand, this study provides a comprehensive overview of how cross-platform mobile development frameworks shape the mobile development landscape. The research employs a data-driven methodology, drawing insights from three key categories: Developer Sentiment and Survey Data, Community Engagement and Usage Data, and Market Adoption and Job Market Data. By analyzing these factors, the study identifies the key challenges and emerging trends shaping cross-platform mobile application development. It assesses the most widely used frameworks, comparing their strengths and weaknesses in real-world applications. Furthermore, the research examines the industry adoption patterns and the presence of these frameworks in job market trends. Unlike earlier research, which included now-obsolete platforms like Windows Phone and frameworks such as Xamarin, this study is tailored to the current cross-platform mobile application development market landscape. The conclusions offer actionable insights for developers and researchers, equipping them with the knowledge needed to navigate the evolving cross-platform mobile application development ecosystem effectively.
